Overview

Visit this unique museum to be given a conducted tour to see a fascinating collection of historical artefacts relating civil engineering.

The museum will be hosting four guided tours on Sunday 27 September 2026 each limited to twelve visitors.

The campus is served by Lothian Buses services 25, 34, 35 and 45. Car parking on the day is available in Car Park K located on Fourth Gait. Disabled parking available adjacent to the William Arrol Building west door. Covered cycle parking available on Third Gait.
