A picture of a lost #EdinburghPoliceBox was posted by @lostedinburgh.bsky.social on their Facebook page (credited EEN).

This was given the carrier planning number '254/112' in the 1960's.

The Front of the Edinburgh Police Box at Links Gardens. It is painted primarily white with green highlights and roof. There is a plate for attaching a Siren on its roof. It is currently a coffee stall trading as "The wee Coffee Box". Behind the Box the Leith Links Air Raid Reporting (ARP), later Civil Defence, Report Centre can be seen. This was 1 of 5 built in 1941, of which 3 remain. It is now used by Leith Athletic Football Club.

The rear of the Edinburgh Police Box at Links Gardens. It is painted primarily white with green highlights and roof. There is a plate for attaching a Siren on its roof. It is currently a coffee stall trading as "The wee Coffee Box".

Located next to the Leith Links ARP Report Centre at Links Gardens we have a #EdinburghPoliceBox with a Siren plate fitted.

This box was not listed in any of the lists I have so it is unclear if it was WW2, late 1980's or simply the original box has been replaced.

Edinburgh Police Box on Marchmont Crescent at the junction of Warrender Park Road. The box is well presented but has a bit of a lean forward. Painted black with gold highlights and a blue roof complete with Siren mount. It has a (retracted) cover and fold down table attached to its front. It is currently operated as "Katero Food Bar" however they are due to move to "the Pitt" in Granton and as a result is advertised as "To Let or For Sale"

Edinburgh Police Box on Marchmont Crescent at the junction of Warrender Park Road. Picture taken from Roseneath place. The box is well presented but has a bit of a lean forward. Painted black with gold highlights and a blue roof complete with Siren mount. One of the pipes carrying the Siren cables can be seen, the other has been removed but the mounts are present. It is currently operated as "Katero Food Bar" however they are due to move to "the Pitt" in Granton and as a result is advertised as "To Let or For Sale"

This #SirenSaturday we reach the final Insitu evidence of a Siren based on the 1960's "Carrier Planning" list. (There are a few not listed)

The #EdinburghPoliceBox on Marchmont Crescent (I forgot to record the Police area and number)

This was given Carrier planning number 254/59 in the 1960's.

Secomak Hand Siren complete with "Scottish Home Department Property" sticker

#SirenSaturday

Something to potentially look forward if you visit one of the talks by Mr Tom Wood, he brought along his
Secomak Hand Siren complete with its "Scottish Home Department Property" sticker indicating it was to be used in Scotland post war.

The Edinburgh Police box at White Park Gorgie Road, Edinburgh. Seen here from Gorgie Road it is painted Grey with a lamp and Siren mount both Insitu on the Roof. It is now used as a pollution monitoring station.

The side entrance to Tynecastle Football stadium, home of Hearts of Midlothian Football club, can be seen in the background. It is now used as a pollution monitoring station.

One of the few remaining from the 60's Planning list, and site recognisable to Scottish Football fans.

Police Box 12 'C', White Park Gorgie Road, Edinburgh

This was given the Carrier Planning Number 254/43 in the 1960's.

Decided to do a Welfare check on #EdinbirghPoliceBox and Siren Point 254/10 at Jock's Lodge.

Sadly it has been removed, perhaps others will know if this is temporary and where it has gone.

Here we have Bob's fantastic Royal Observer Corps Post Cutaway drawing.

You have probably seen it before but sadly too often without any credit.

With ~1559 (Reduced to ~870 after 1968) Posts spread across the UK it was common for them to act as warning points using Hand Sirens.

#SirenSaturday

This was one of the mystery boxes: Drumsheugh Gardens.
Maps indicate the Box was originally located on the junction with Queensferry Street.
It has a Siren plate but was not listed as fitted in 60's. Could this have been a new Siren location fitted in the 80's?

This #SirenSaturday lets talk about one of the buildings I photographed on my trip last Sunday:

Edinburgh City Police Headquarters, 1 Parliament Square

This building was given Carrier Planning Number 254/1 in the early 1960's and was listed as having a Siren.
