(Reuters) - Scotland are to embark on a four match tour of the Americas in the July international window with fixtures against Canada, United States, Chile and Uruguay, officials confirmed on Friday.

Gregor Townsend’s side will play Canada in Ottawa on July 6, before travelling to Washington DC to meet the U.S. on July 12. The last time they clashed with the latter was in Houston six years ago when the home side won 30-29.
