Colin Montgomerie, the seven-time winner of the Volvo Order of Merit crown, will lead the Scottish challenge in The £2.2 million Barclays Scottish Open at Loch Lomond from 10-13 July.
Montgomerie, who secured his first professional victory on home soil when he won at Loch Lomond in 1999, will be joined by fellow Scot and Captain of the victorious 2003 European Ryder Cup Team, Sam Torrance.
Gordon Brand Jnr, Andrew Coltart, Ross Drummond, David Drysdale, Alastair Forsyth, Stephen Gallacher, Colin Gillies, Scott Henderson, Sandy Lyle, Fraser Mann, Andrew Oldcorn, Gary Orr, Dean Robertson and
Raymond Russell complete the Scottish line-up at Loch Lomond this July.
Montgomerie said: "I am very much looking forward to returning to Loch Lomond for The Barclays Scottish Open. I always enjoy playing in Scotland in front of my home crowd."
Torrance said: "The Scottish crowds are fantastic to play in front of and I am really looking forward to getting back to Loch Lomond to participate in this great event."
After a strong performance from the Scots in the recent Volvo PGA Championship at Wentworth Club, the defending champion at Loch Lomond, Eduardo Romero, can expect tough competition from the Scots as they challenge for the coveted Barclays Scottish Open title in front of their home crowd.
