Scottish Vintage Bus Museum ready to open after “squatters” move out

The Scottish Vintage Bus Museum reopens to the public on Sunday.

The museum, on the M90 Commerce Park at Lathalmond, is believed to be the largest of the type in the world.

It houses just under 200 vehicles as well as a small railway system.

VisitScotland has recently upgraded the museum to three stars.

Volunteers have been working hard to clean up the exhibition hall after two “squatters” moved in during the closed season.

A decision was jointly made with the RSPB to leave a pair of barn owls until later in the year when the charity would arrange their relocation.

But the pair has voluntarily departed to pastures new.

They did, however, leave considerable evidence of their stay which caused additional cleaning, said Guide Sunday coordinator Edward Busst.

Some exhibits were also moved around, and the numbers of vehicles available for tours around the site have been increased thanks to some owners.

Admission fees include a tour of the museum by bus.
