Editors Notes: 

"Flying Scotsman" made a flying visit to Scotland over the weekend of Saturday 19th to Tuesday 22nd May 2018, heading a Steam Dreams "Cathedrals Express" to Edinburgh from King's Cross on the first day, running a series of three "Fife Circulars" on the Sunday, resting on Monday and then home again, this time via the Caledonian Main Line to Carlisle and then back via the S&C to Preston on the Tuesday. Here we have two dramatic shots of the train at Abington as the sheep scatter and then entering England at the Metal Bridge.
