History

The museum was established in 1986 in Whitburn, West Lothian,[3] before moving to its current location at Lathalmond, formerly part of the Royal Navy Stores Depot, in 1995.[1] The museum owns half of the site at Lathalmond which is around 45 acres.[4]

Collection

There are around 160 buses based at Lathalmond. The collection also includes around 30 other vehicles.[2] On site, there is a small railway collection which is on loan to the museum from the Scottish Railway Preservation Society,[1] together with a collection of classic cars and lorries, a restored steam roller and a restored horse tram.[5]

The museum is a registered charity and the collection is managed by a board made up of mainly trustees.[4]
