The Flying Scotsman is a famous steam locomotive built in 1923. It was designed by Sir Nigel Gresley for the London and North Eastern Railway and is known for its speed and elegance. The locomotive was the first to officially reach a speed of 100 miles per hour, making it a symbol of engineering excellence. After being retired from regular service in 1963, The Flying Scotsman underwent extensive restoration and is now a popular tourist attraction. It travels on special excursions across the UK, allowing people to experience the charm of vintage steam travel while appreciating its historical significance.
