Scotland forced into late change
This follows after Richie Gray failed to recover from a hamstring injury.
Gray was originally included in the Scotland line-up named by coach Vern Cotter on Thursday, despite suffering the muscle problem in last weekend's thrashing by England.
But 24 hours later Scottish Rugby announced the Toulouse star was ruled out of the showdown at Murrayfield.
Edinburgh forward Gilchrist was not in the initial list of substitutes, but he has been drafted into the team ahead of Tim Swinson, who remains on the bench.
Gilchrist has earned 15 caps for Scotland since making his debut in 2013.
Having defeated Ireland and Wales, the Scot are aiming for three Six Nations victories for the first time since 2006 in what will be Cotter's last match as coach.
