Museum of Scottish Railways

The Museum of Scottish Railways in Bo'ness houses locomotives, carriages, and personal items that show how rail transport developed in Scotland. The buildings contain restored vehicles from different eras and equipment that reflects the everyday work of railway staff.

The museum was founded in 1995 to preserve the story of Scottish railways, which played a major role since the middle of the 1800s. The collection documents how railways connected industry and towns across Scotland.

The museum shows how railways changed everyday life in Scotland and how people used trains to work and travel. The collection tells stories about the people behind the machines and their journeys.

The site is easy to reach by car and offers free parking for visitors. The exhibits are both indoors in halls and in outdoor areas, so visiting in good weather is more comfortable.

The museum preserves a vintage Glasgow Subway car, a rare example of this specific transport system. Visitors can also try their hand at sorting mail inside an authentic traveling Post Office coach.
