Grampian Transport Museum

This museum houses a fascinating collection of vintage vehicles, including a Triumph Bonne­ville in excellent nick, a couple of Model T Fords (including one used by Drambuie), a Ferrari F40 and an Aston Martin V8 Mk II. More unusual exhibits include a 19th-century horse-drawn sleigh from Russia, a 1942 Mack snowplough and a steam-powered tricycle built in 1895 by a local postman.

The museum's centrepiece is TV presenter Guy Martin's collection, which includes a Rolls Royce Merlin engine (from a WWII Spitfire fighter aircraft) and the pedal cycle on which he set the British cycle speed record of 112mph (drafting behind a racing truck) in 2014.
