They did the same sort of work, hauling front line express passenger trains, but the Duchess is more powerful than Flying Scotsman. The Duchess Class was rated power class 8 by British Rail as opposed to Class 7 for the A3s like Flying Scotsman.

As David said ... although I would turn your question around to answer it:
No. Scotsman is nowhere near in the same class as a Big Lizzie.
See one before they removed the streamlining here link

Lovely picture David
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass
