A famous steam engine has returned to Tayside and Fife – and locals will be able to catch another glimpse of it on Thursday evening.
The Tornado-hauled train named The Aberdonian left Edinburgh this morning and travelled through Stirling, Perth, Dundee and Angus en route to Aberdeen.
The No. 60163 Tornado was made famous following appearances in the hit movie Paddington 2 and TV show Top Gear.

According to the website Rail Advent is due to depart Aberdeen on its return trip just before 6pm before passing through stations in Angus, Dundee, Perth and Fife before arriving back in Edinburgh.

The trust is also currently building a new Class P2 locomotive, No. 2007 Prince of Wales, which historically hauled passenger trains between Edinburgh and Aberdeen.
The Aberdonian will run again on August 8 and 31; and on September 7.
