2 unusual facts about Scottish Motor Traction


Scottish Motor Traction

Upon nationalisation of the SMT group's bus and coach services by the Attlee government in 1949, those of SMT itself were transferred to a new British Transport Commission subsidiary, Scottish Omnibuses Ltd., which continued to operate as "SMT" until the early 1960s, when the fleet name "Eastern Scottish" was adopted.

Aside from its traditional bus operations, it operated an air taxi service with a De Havilland Fox Moth between July 18 and October 31, 1932 and for many years owned Dryburgh Abbey Hotel.
