The Boards on the Flying Scotsman named the express but had a small board underneath which gave the eventual destination of the vehicle concerned. So we have 'THE FLYING SCOTSMAN' plus 'KINGS + to EDINBURGH' plus the smaller names

On re-reading my post I may have been a bit ambiguous. The train carried large FS headboards in the central slot, interspersed with London & Edinburgh in the same place on alternate coaches. i.e. It did not say FS on all vehicles. The smaller destination boards marked the parts goign on to Glasgow and Aberdeen.
