Picked this up less than a mile from where it was made from an 84 year old who bought it from the velodrome 6/7 years ago, with a matching set of wheels with larger cogs. Looks like it has been refinished at some point - still trying to find out information on the history, but seatpost, chain and possibly headset look to be the only non-original componenets. Seems to be spaced for 100 front / 110 rear, trying to establish if this is factory spec. Grateful for any info on this!

This is a stunning Flying Scot! The purple color is fabulous! My Flying Scot track is 1971 - bought it in 1981 and still ride it (baby blue color)

Thank you - I think the paint colour is 'heather'...do you have any pictures of yours?
