Scotrail don't run may steam train tours and today's engine, 60163 Tornado, isn't a normal steam engine.
She was completed in the 21st century but is based on the Peppercorn A1's of the 1940's.
Many people took advantage of a reduced price ticket offer on the trip from Stirling to Inverness, and as many people turned out along the route to watch her passing.
We had a great day as we followed the loco as far as Dunkeld & Birnam station.
