Wales were condemned to the wooden spoon in the women's Six Nations after a spirited defeat to Scotland at Scotstoun.
Tries from Megan Gaffney, Megan Kennedy, Christine Belisle and Evie Gallagher proved enough to earn victory for the Scots, although Wales did respond with touchdowns from Lisa Neumann and Caitlin Lewis.
Ultimately, Wales fell short, but there were definite positives for head coach Warren Abrahams to build on here, with Jasmine Joyce putting in a particularly impressive performance at full-back.
The visitors arrived in Glasgow without a single point to their name in this year's tournament, following heavy defeats at the hands of Pool B rivals Ireland and France.
Scotland, in search of a first win of the competition themselves, drew first blood when Gaffney crashed over in the corner after just five minutes.
But Wales, to their credit, responded well, and took a slender lead courtesy of two Robyn Wilkins penalties.
A tightly-contested first half then saw the pendulum swing back in Scotland's favour.
Gaffney's superb break was met by a wall of red shirts just metres away from the line, before she bulldozed her way over the whitewash.
Another well worked team move allowed Belisle to go over to put the hosts in control at half-time.
It was perhaps a tad harsh on Wales, who responded by storming out of the blocks after the interval, with Neumann touching down for what was her side's first try of the tournament.
Wilkins added the extras, but Scotland's dominance in the line-out continued to cause issues.
A pinpoint set-piece set up a ferocious rolling maul that was expertly finished by Gallagher.
Scotland would have surely been out of sight were it not for Joyce's last ditch tackle to deny Liz Musgrove following a cheeky crossfield chip.
Three points from the boot of Helen Nelson ten minutes from time nevertheless ensured the hosts kept the scoreboard ticking over, but Wales, to their tremendous credit, refused to throw in the towel, and were rewarded for their efforts when Lewis finished off a fine team move to go over for a converted score, ending a difficult campaign on something of a high.
