The Museum of Scottish Railways is a railway museum operated by the Scottish Railway Preservation Society. It is based on the Society's large collection of railway artefacts from across Scotland. The museum is located in the SRPS's headquarters at The Bo'ness and Kinneil Railway, and is the largest building on site.
It is the largest railway museum in Scotland, consisting of three large buildings which contain heritage locomotives, carriages and other exhibits.
