This policebox on The Royal Mile was getting a make over this afternoon. I captured this talented sign writer adding letters to the outside of the now kiosk which stands in front of Starbucks near Festival Square.
The kiosk looked to be selling fizzy drinks and chocolate as well as ghost tours around the old town.

Policebox coffee shop
This coffee takaway at the top of Leith Walk, infront of St Mary’s RC Cathedral, is an old converted policebox, many of which are dotted around Edinburgh.
Perfectly positioned this small box would once of been home to policemen guarding the road up to Edinburgh’s East End. Now it supplies coffee to the city’s many workers.
This is my second policebox sketch, the first from the Royal Mile which you can see here: https://edinburghsketcher.com/?p=538
