Scottish Rugby Union chief executive Mark Dodson has revealed that he wants the national side to have won a Six Nations campaign and a World Cup by 2016.
Dodson addressed his first AGM meeting on Saturday, also stating the plan for Glasgow and Edinburgh to become part of Europe's elite.
Scotland lost every game of this year's Six Nations, but Dodson insists that the side can turn their fortunes around.
"The goals we've set reflect our ambition for the game in Scotland," said Dodson.
"With unity, and support from the whole nation, there is no reason we can't achieve those goals. We are making real progress in revitalising the game of rugby in Scotland."
Scottish club Edinburgh reached the Heineken Cup semi-final last season while Glasgow made the Pro12 playoffs, and Dodson has highlighted the success of the two outfits as an integral part of Scotland's future.
"Since I joined Scottish Rugby I've said I want to place much greater focus on making the pro clubs as successful as we can," he added.
"By better aligning our professional sides with clubs sides around the country we will be able to support and nurture the grassroots and the top tier of the game.
"I firmly believe that by doing that, we will create a virtuous circle, which benefits every club and player in the country."
Scotland were victorious over Australia, Samoa and Fiji on their summer tour.
