    Several A4s saw out their remaining days until 1966 in Scotland, particularly on the Aberdeen - Glasgow express trains, for which they were used to improve the timing from 3.5 to 3 hours.



    I have added a collection of colour photos of Gresley's A4's at work in Scotland on the Aberdeen - Glasgow express trains


    The photos came with no locations or dates so I am looking for help with locations and possible dates if anyone can help please

    I have put a couple of locations in of the Stonehaven location and one at Perth, all the rest I need help with

    Photos 4-7&11 look like Perth to me. Happy to be corrected though
