And he is likely to go up against Chelsea team-mate Chilwell, should the left-back also be selected, as England play Scotland on June 18.
With Ryan Jack and Kenny McLean out, Clarke welcomed the 19-year-old into the fold having previously turned out for the Under-21s.
Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has recently turned to the midfielder to bulk out his squad in the busy run-in.
Gilmour impressed in recent wins over Fulham and Manchester City, and has made 11 appearances this season.
Joining him in the Scotland Euros squad is the uncapped duo of David Turnbull of Celtic and Rangers' Nathan Patterson.
Liam Cooper also won his battle to make the cut with no place for Liam Palmer, Oli McBurnie, Leigh Griffiths, Lawrence Shankland or Andrew Considine.
Former striker Ally McCoist had backed Rangers teenager Patterson to join PFAS Young Player of the Year Turnbull and Gilmour in the squad.
He told Sky Sports ahead of the announcement: "The ones that would spring to mind immediately would be Turnbull, Patterson and Gilmour, to be honest with you.
"I think you've got to give [Gilmour] an opportunity.
"I saw him in the Manchester City game and he looked excellent, and I think if you can play well in that company you can play with anybody.
"I think he's a terrific talent and a great player plus, sadly, we've lost one of our key players in Kenny McLean. I would take the chance. I'd put him in the squad."
