Grampian Transport Museum is an independent museum and charity in the heart of Alford, Aberdeenshire, open to the public for 40+ years. Its award-winning, ever-evolving collection spans 19th-century chariots to iconic modern vehicles, with hands-on exhibits that engage visitors of all ages.
Visitors can explore the story of going places — from school buses and first bicycles to family road trips and cross-country trains — across the museum halls and Collections Centre. The museum also runs family events, outdoor events, drive-in cinema screenings and heritage skills workshops throughout its season.
