In the Battle of the Brits, Dan Evans defeated Andy Murray as England won the title.
British number two Evans beat the three-time Grand Slam champion after England team-mates Neal Skupski and Paul Jubb beat Jamie Murray and Jonny O'Mara in the preceding doubles.
Evans' victory gave England a 6-1 lead and just one win away from the exhibition title, before Paul Jubb beat Scotland's Aidan McHugh.
The Murray brothers beat Evans and Skupski in the final match of the tournament, which could have been the last chance for Scottish fans to see them play together.
"I hope it's not the case, but we need to remember that we're getting on a bit, and you never know what's around the corner," said Andy Murray.
I am very proud of Jamie for putting on the event.
The way all of the players showed up meant a lot to both of us.
The first edition of the Battle of the Brits was held without spectators at a time when the regular tennis tours were stopped.
coronaviruses cases at the time led to the cancellation of the 2021.
Four men's singles and two men's doubles matches were played over the course of two days at Aberdeen's P&J Arena.
After Evans had won the first rubber for England against McHugh, the action had ended in a tie.
Two points were awarded for victories in the afternoon session and three for victories in the evening session, which started with Jubb's singles victory.
