Scotland withheld a stunning Wales comeback to hang on for a first victory in Cardiff in 22 years.
Gregor Townsend’s side raced into a 27-0 lead in 43 minutes with two Duhan van Der Merwe tries, a Pierre Schoeman score and 12 Finn Russell points.
Wales responded with tries from James Botham, Rio Dyer, Aaron Wainwright and Alex Mann in a stunning second-half performance.
But Scotland wrapped up the one-point victory.
