The Meadows

In the days long before mobile phones were common, Edinburgh had Police Boxes scattered around the city, from which emergency telephone calls could be made.  This style of Police Box was unique to Edinburgh. 

In recent years, several of these have been converted into a chain of coffee kiosks.
