Scotland put last weekend's disappointment behind them by storming to a 31-20 victory over England in Saturday's Six Nations clash at Murrayfield.
England's hat-trick hero against Wales, Henry Arundell, was sin-binned twice after receiving two yellow cards, and Scotland took full advantage in a dominant performance.
Finn Russell’s early penalty gave Scotland something to build on before Arundell failed to release and slowed an ominous attack to earn his first yellow card.
Scotland quickly made their visitors pay. Russell was on top form as he unlocked England's defence, teeing up Huw Jones, who raced around Maro Itoje to score. Jamie Ritchie then had all the time in the world to cross, with Russell again converting to put Scotland 17-0 up.
Arundell returned to the pitch to get England on the board by running it under the posts, with George Ford adding a penalty shortly after to cut Scotland's lead further.
Marcus Genge then gifted Ben White the opportunity to cross, and England's day went from bad to worse as Arundell received his second yellow, sending him back to the sin bin for 20 minutes just before the break.
Ford cut the deficit further after half-time, but he was at fault for Scotland's next score as his drop-goal attempt was pounced on, allowing Jones to add a second try to his tally.
Ben Earl got England a consolation in the closing stages, cruising over after being left in acres of space down the left, but they leave Edinburgh empty-handed, while Scotland take a bonus-point win and the Calcutta Cup bragging rights.

Data Debrief: Townsend reaches landmark in style
Gregor Townsend was under pressure after Scotland's disappointing defeat to Italy last weekend, but his side bounced back brilliantly to give him a win in his 100th match in charge.
Scotland have won four of their five home games against England under Townsend, including the last three in a row.
It is the most consecutive Calcutta Cup matches they have won against England at Murrayfield, since winning four on the bounce between 1970 and 1976.
