Just seven miles from The Station Hotel Insch and set on Alford’s former railway terminus, the Grampian Transport Museum celebrates the people, engineering and stories that shaped travel and industry in the region.


Explore beautifully preserved vehicles and objects - from 19th‑century travelling chariots to landmark cars and motorcycles - alongside changing displays refreshed each year.


Founded through local passion in the 1970s and opened in 1983, the museum continues to grow, with expanded galleries and dedicated collections.


Complete your visit with the Travellers Rest Tea Room, seasonal outdoor events and the on‑site Visitor Information Centre, a welcoming starting point for discovering the area.


The Grampian Transport Museum is a seasonal attraction and is open 10am to 5pm every day from 27th March to 25th October (closing at 4pm during October).
