With Edinburgh's Old Town in the background 46100 'Royal Scot' eases out of Waverley station with the 09.46 steam special to Tweedbank. The train is about to enter Calton North tunnel that is just below me as I stand on a wall adjacent to Regent Road atop Calton Hill. The type 7P 4-6-0 will lead the train all the way to Tweedbank from where a class 67, attached to the rear in this image, will haul the return journey. Later in the day the service is repeated with an afternoon run taking place.
