The Flying Scotsman travels along the line heading towards Dalmeny when it visited Edinburgh on May 10th All photos by North Edinburgh Community News

The Flying Scotsman owned by The National Railway Museum headed out of Edinburgh today going north to Inverness.

These photos were all taken at a vantage point between the Gyle and Dalmeny.

The NRM issued this notice on their website :

“After a £4.2 million refurbishment, Flying Scotsman has returned to the UK’s mainline. One of the jewels in the crown of the National Railway Museum’s Collection, it is being presented to a new generation of Scotsman fans.

“While we understand that interest in Flying Scotsman will be extremely high, we urge those wishing to view it on its tour dates do so from a safe vantage point. It is vital that spectators do not venture onto the railway, particularly when it is on the mainline, as a full timetable of regular services will also be running.”
