Myreton Motor Museum, Transport museum in Aberlady, Scotland.
Myreton Motor Museum is a transport museum housed in converted farm buildings near Aberlady in Scotland, displaying over 30 vehicles and machines. The collection includes cars, motorcycles, bicycles, commercial vehicles, and trade-related equipment spanning multiple decades.
Willie Dale founded the museum in 1966, converting cattle buildings into exhibition spaces after collecting vehicles since the 1950s. The transformation of the farm site shows Dale's long-term commitment to preserving the history of transportation.
The collection features vintage advertising posters and enamel signs from the 20th century that reflect how gas stations and roadsides once looked. Visitors see the visual language of an era when automobiles were transforming daily life.
The site is easy to reach by car and offers parking directly at the museum for visitors with vehicles. The indoor spaces are spread across the converted farm buildings, so visitors should expect some walking between sections.
An 1899 General Electric vehicle that resembles a horseless carriage drove under its own power into the museum in 1994. This historic machine proved that such vehicles could still move under their own power after more than 90 years.
