Flying Scotsman | Edinburgh | Fife | Forth Bridge | Steam locomotive

The Flying Scotsman was in Edinburgh in June 2021. This famous steam locomotive was designed by Sir Nigel Gresley and built in 1923 for the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) to operate on the East Coast Mainline between England and Scotland. It was the first Steam locomotive to be officially recorded at 100 mph (160.9 Kmph). The Flying Scotsman achieved this milestone in 1934. After covering 2.08 million miles during its operational life, the locomotive was retired in 1963. The Flying Scotsman has been called the world’s most famous steam locomotive. Originally numbered as 4472, the Flying Scotsman was renumbered 60103 after ownership transferred from the LNER to British Rail.
In this video, I follow the famous locomotive as it takes a circular excursion tour beginning from Edinburgh Waverly, through the Fife and returning back along the coast via Kirkcaldy.
