Down and through Abbeyhill we get to the London Road Police Box.
I love how precarious it looks along with the exposed pipes. One of my favourites.
Now I need to turn back towards town.

Andy has put together a brilliant thread on the iconic
#EdinburghPoliceBox.
It is a good #SirenSaturday Read owing to the use of Boxes to mount Sirens.
I will pull out and quote some of the relevant parts over the course of the day.

2025 is the centenary of the appointment of Ebenezer James Macrae as Edinburgh City Architect. Dubbed "the man who shaped modern Edinburgh", his work characterised by a blend of modern form and function with traditional style. A uniquely splendid example is the Edinburgh Police Box

Coming down the mile we come to Cranston Street Police Box.
This one needs further investigation as it may have had a Siren in WW2 but the current box shows no evidence and it wasn't listed post war.
