While Avengers star Chris Evans was clocked partying in Edinburgh, Marvel co-stars Scarlett Johansson, Chris Hemsworth and Mark Ruffalo sneaked into Scotland.

The Captain America actor took part in several secretive shoots at Waverley station, joined by Black Widow, Thor and Falcon.

Scarlet Witch actress Elizabeth Olsen and Vision actor Paul Bettany, who had been shooting in the capital for the past month, were also part of the overnight filming.

Key scenes were supervised by directors Anthony and Joe Russo, better known as the Russo Brothers, who flew in last week to relieve the blockbuster's second unit.

Actor Evans was snapped partying during his last night in the capital, leaving on a plane just hours after being papped at a George Street club .

Falcon actor Anthony Mackie soon bid farewell to Edinburgh too, with Olsen and Bettany also believed to have left Scotland.

However the remaining A-listers, joined by Hulk actor Mark Ruffalo, kept a decidedly lower profile as filming began in the Scottish Borders.

The sleepy village of St Abbs was on lockdown as Thor, Hulk and Black Widow filmed daytime scenes.

The only part of the set visible to eagle-eyed fans was a fake pub, the Cormorantatun, as the village's only road was closed to everyone but locals.

However Hemsworth and Ruffalo delighted fans by stopping to sign autographs and take photos as they arrived back at their plush Edinburgh hotel after filming.

Johansson slipped past waiting cameras yet again.

Crews have been filming for Avengers Infinity War in Scotland since the middle of March, with shooting taking place on Edinburgh ’s Royal Mile, Cockburn Street and inside Waverley Station.

A 40ft green screen inside the train station, a fake kebab shop and St Giles' Cathedral are the backdrop for several scenes filmed over the course of six weeks.

Filming included massive explosions in the heart of the city, as well as nail-biting wire stunts.

Scarlet Witch and Vision were seen under attack from villains in motion capture suits - including Thanos’ right-hand man Corvus Glaize - as well as caught in a tender embrace, hinting that the romance blossoming between the pair will be stepped up a gear in Avengers Infinity War.

Cameramen also reportedly visited Inverness Castle to film exterior shots.

St Abbs is expected to be the last location for Scottish filming before Marvel bosses move to England.

Durham Cathedral is believed to be doubling for Edinburgh as the arrival of curious props seem to point to the highly anticipated arrival of Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange.

The £400m blockbuster’s 400-strong film crew was tipped to boost Edinburgh’s economy by £10million during its six-week stint.

Director Joe Russo said: “When Edinburgh came up as a location option we jumped at the chance. The city is such a unique and iconic location, but one never seen as the backdrop for a big action film, which is incredibly exciting.”
