Eilidh Child will captain the first-ever Scottish team at the Glasgow British Athletics International Match in January.
The University of Bath-based athlete will lead Scotland in the first major event in Glasgow in 2014 ahead of next summer's Commonwealth Games. They will compete against Great Britain & Northern Ireland, USA and a Commonwealth select.
Child, who is trained by Malcolm Arnold, won a 4x400m relay bronze in Moscow in August's World Championships and was named Scottish Athlete of the Year.
"I'm really honoured to be named captain and it'll be an immensely proud occasion for me to lead the Scottish team out at the Glasgow British Athletics International Match," said Child, who won Commonwealth Games 400m hurdles silver in 2010.
"There is some really good talent coming through, so it is great for everyone to have the opportunity to compete at the Emirates Arena before the Commonwealth Games.
"It will also give fans the chance to come out and watch some of the athletes they might not have heard of before the summer.
"We don't really get the chance that often to compete in front of a home crowd. I was at this event at the start of this year, but it was one of the first times I've had that Scottish support for quite a few years.
"People always get behind all the athletes, so to have that opportunity to go out there and show what we can do with a huge crowd behind us will be incredible."
