A last-gasp try from Dougie Fife earned Scotland their first ever World Rugby Sevens Series title as they defeated South Africa 27-26 at Twickenham.
The Scots had never been to a Sevens series final before and found themselves 26-15 down in the closing stages before two late tries, both scored by Fife and the second coming after time had expired, delivered a historic success for Calum McRae's team.
They set up a showdown with the Proteas earlier in the day in similar fashion as another pair of late scores from Fife in the semi-finals saw off the United States, who won at Twickenham 12 months earlier.
"It's an unbelievable feeling," Fife told Sky Sports afterwards.
"This team have come a long way, we truly believe we can beat anyone on our day and today we showed that. I think we surprised a few people."
New Zealand had to settle for the Plate in the final tournament before the Rio Olympics.
The New Zealanders were thumped 42-14 in their Cup quarter-final by the USA before going on to beat Argentina 29-14 in the Plate final.
An inconsistent New Zealand won tournaments in Wellington, Sydney and Vancouver but tailed off near the finish, failing to reach the semi-finals of the last three tournaments.
They failed to handle the pace of US winger Perry Baker, who scored four of their six tries. Rieko Ioane and Lewis Ormond scored tries to give the All Blacks Sevens an early 14-7 advantage.
New Zealand improved significantly against England, with outstanding 19-year-old Ioane bagging a hat-trick.
Second-half yellow cards to Augustine Pulu and Kurt Baker didn't impact on the outcome.
New Zealand scored five tries to two for the second successive game when downing the Pumas, with Ioane joined on the tryscorers' list by Pita Ahki, Gillies Kaka, Regan Ware and Teddy Stanaway.
FINAL STANDINGS: Fiji 181, South Africa 171, New Zealand 158, Australia 134, Argentina 119, United States 117, Kenya 98, England 92, Samoa 89, Scotland 87, France 85.
