Jon Petrie, Euan Murray and Donnie Macfadyen are unavailable for selection due to injury.
The squad, selected by Frank Hadden and the head coaches at Border Reivers and Glasgow Warriors, Steve Bates and Hugh Campbell, respectively, includes three uncapped players, all back-row forwards, namely Simon Cross, Paul Dearlove and Andy Miller.
The trio, however, have had previous involvement with the national squad, Cross during the 2004 RBS 6 Nations Championship and most recently against the Barbarians last May in Aberdeen; and Dearlove and Miller who joined the 2004 Scotland tour of Australia as replacements.
Hadden explained what he is looking to achieve at the squad session. "Our focus at the session will be purely on organising the set piece, our attack and our defence. In the two days next week we will have four organisational sessions to begin our preparations for our Autumn Tests against Argentina, Samoa and New Zealand."
Turning to the selection, Hadden reflected on the level of competition at hooker and on the wing. "The competition for hooker is particularly intense and I'm delighted by the form being shown by Ross Ford, Dougie Hall and Scott Lawson.
"We also have some real depth on the wing and in our back three, players who we'll be looking to launch in the games ahead.
"As far as captaincy is concerned I will be speaking to my fellow coaches when we gather for the first time on Sunday night. We have a number of candidates for captain and we will be assessing leadership qualities and their aptitude for the job during the squad sessions over the next few weeks."
Hadden stresses that when it comes to the Murrayfield Autumn Test matches – v Argentina on 12 November, Samoa on 20 November and New Zealand on 26 November – he will look to choose players delivering consistent form.
And with that in mind he views the forthcoming Celtic League fixtures – Edinburgh Gunners v Glasgow Warriors at Murrayfield this Friday (kick-off 7.30pm) and Border Reivers v Edinburgh Gunners at Netherdale next Friday (7 October) – as trial matches.
Seven players are listed as not available for selection through injury.
