What is recorded here

Edinburgh Castle still stands above the city, but a small K6 telephone kiosk once occupied its grounds. That compact metal cabin brought private conversation into a place built for public display and military warning. Someone may have stood inside, pulling a coin from a pocket while castle shadows moved across the stone. The act of calling home from such a height turned ancient defense into ordinary human connection.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Edinburgh, Edinburgh Castle, K6 Telephone Kiosk as Telephone Box (20th Century). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
