A visual exploration of the famous Edinburgh and Glasgow police boxes.Walking the streets of Edinburgh and Glasgow, a visitor will very likely encounter at least one of these cast-iron police boxes that remain scattered throughout the two cities. Originally designed as 'small police stations', these one-room, cast-iron structures originally served as spaces for calling the main station, report-writing, or even as holding cells. Now these shelters have outlived their original purpose and are being re-used as coffee bars, art pop-up galleries, or just remain to serve as graffiti backers.Even though there are more police boxes in Edinburgh, visitors to Glasgow’s few remaining ones will find it to have an uncanny resemblance to a particular vehicle used in the BBC’s Doctor Who series.This book contains full-page photographs of a selection of the remaining Edinburgh and Glasgow police boxes together with locations and GPS coordinates that invite the savvy traveler to discover these structures as well.
