The Scottish Transport Trail

Scotland's rich and diverse Transport Heritage is displayed by a host of museums and attractions.

Discover

  • how the canals and railways developed to serve the needs of the coal, shipbuilding and locomotive building industries in the Central Belt.
  • how the Clyde-built ships served the British Empire in peacetime and wartime and opened up the world to travel and commerce.
  • how railways and ships, and later road and air transport, improved communications in the Scottish Highlands and Islands.
  • the nostalgia of travelling in trains, boats and road transport of a bygone age.

The Scottish Transport Heritage Marketing Association (STHMA) brings together the wealth of heritage transport attractions available in Scotland.
