Leanne Ross scored twice as Scotland opened their 2015 World Cup qualifying campaign with a comfortable win away to Group 4 minnows Faroe Islands.
Rachel Corsie gave the Scots an early lead and further strikes from Lisa Evans, Jane Ross and two from Leanne Ross settled the game by half-time.
Suzanne Lappin and Suzanne Mulvey added to the scoreline after the break.
Two late goals from Heidi Sevdal gave the Faroes some reward for their better second-half display.
But it is the Scots who secured the three points ahead of Thursday's second group game against Bosnia-Herzegovina at Motherwell's Fir Park.
The match at the Torsvollur stadium began under floodlights, lashing rain coating the artificial surface, and spectators were rapidly drenched before a ball had even been kicked.
The Scots were quickest off the mark, Lisa Evans with a shot at goal within the first two minutes. The ball in had been nicely worked by Kim Little but the final finish simply not strong enough to trouble the Faroese keeper.
Anna Signeul's side, however, rallied quickly and just seven minutes in were rewarded for their efforts.
Evans then found her target just a minute later, a neat cross from Leanne Ross met smoothly by the midfielder, who headed in from the right of the box.
Scotland continued to pile the pressure on the home side while Olga Kristina Hansen tried to drive the Faroes up the pitch. However, it was the Scots who struck again on the 20th minute, Wardum tipping a Leanne Ross shot into her own net to compound the Faroes' misery.
