A fleet of vintage cars is setting out on a 750 mile journey over the next three days for the Flying Scotsman Rally.

The vehicles, which were all built before 1940, will travel from Leeds to Newcastle today via the North York Moors and County Durham.

This year's 7th rally is taking its most northern route to date with the goal of reaching Gleneagles resort on Sunday afternoon.

Day 1 - Leeds to Newcastle
Day 2 - Newcastle to Edinburgh
Day 3 - Edinburgh to Gleneagles

The original plan for day two was to go via Holy Island, but because of the tides organisers decided to turn west to roads between Ford and Kelso instead.
