The Scottish Cycle Museum at Drumlanrig
In 1842 Drumlanrig blacksmith, Kirkpatrick Macmillan, rode 60 miles to Glasgow on the first ever bicycle, one he invented in 1839. So it is entirely appropriate that today you can discover down to the last detail the history of this fascinating machine at The Scottish Bike Museum.
The Scottish Cycle Museum, situated within the Stableyard, houses a superb collection of interesting bicycles ranging from a replica of Macmillan's original, an 1868 velocipede, a number of Victorian tricycles and penny farthings, some early safety bicycles, a 1912 Dursley Pederson alongside the mountain bike as we know it today.
The Scottish Cycle Museum offers educational and fun childrens tours which include stories that fascinate children of all ages.
