Sir Gilbert Scott, 1935. 2 standard K6 telephone kiosks, situated on central island in Grassmarket, at E end and to centre respectively.
K6 design, also known as Jubilee Kiosk, commemorating the Silver Jubilee of George V. The GPO set up a committee to redesign the telephone kiosk for mass production, with a Jubilee concession scheme providing a kiosk for each village with a Post Office. Scott was asked to design the new kiosk in March 1935, and the K6 went into production in 1936.
