About us:
The Biggar Albion Foundation Ltd was an offshoot of the Biggar Museum Trust. It was founded by the late Brian Lambie, MBE, FRSA in around 1993 and became an independent organisation in 2001. We run the Biggar Rally annually in August and this is our primary source of funding at present. We have an extensive archive of Albion-related documents, photographs and records and our museum has several Albion vehicles, sectioned engines, gearboxes and models. Coming soon, we will have display equipment to enable the visitor to enjoy all of our images and some fascinating films.
