Meanwhile, former Scotland captain Kelly Brown has also announced that he will retire from rugby union at the end of the season.
The 34-year-old Saracens flanker will stay on at the Premiership club to coach in their academy.
Brown made 64 appearances for his country - playing in the 2007 and 2011 World Cups.
He described skippering the Scottish national side as an "honour" that he will "always cherish".
"I've been lucky to have been able to live my dream for 13 years and now I'm privileged to be able to help others do the same," he said.
