Grampian Transport Museum, Transport museum in Alford, Scotland.
The Grampian Transport Museum displays vehicles from different periods, including historic cars, motorcycles, bicycles, and steam-powered machines across multiple exhibition halls.
Local transport enthusiasts established the museum in 1983 after organizing successful vintage vehicle gatherings and securing support from regional councils in the 1970s.
The museum maintains a collection of vehicles that represent the evolution of transportation in northeast Scotland, including the world's oldest Sentinel Steam Waggon from 1914.
The museum operates from April to September between 10 AM and 5 PM, with admission prices of £12 for adults and £3 for children.
The museum received a hydrogen-powered bus from Aberdeen's fleet in 2020, marking the integration of modern sustainable transport technology into its collection.

Aberdeen and its region feature a series of sites that testify to several centuries of Scottish history. The city contains religious buildings such as the 14th-century St. Machar Cathedral, cultural institutions like the neoclassical Music Hall from 1822, and the Maritime Museum, as well as green spaces including Duthie Park with its botanical greenhouses. The port, active since the 12th century, remains an important center for maritime industry. A 3.5-kilometer sandy beach borders the North Sea, while the Footdee district retains its 19th-century fishing houses.
