K6 Telephone Kiosks, Chalmer's Close, High Street, Edinburgh

The K6 telephone kiosks located at Chalmer's Close on High Street in Edinburgh were designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott in 1935 and produced between 1936 and 1968. This pair of standard kiosks features three sides made of lying-pane glazing, with eight panes high and narrow margin lights. One side has a glazed door with a cup handle aligned with the fourth and fifth panes, while the rear has a blind cast-iron panel that holds the telephone and a shelf. Each kiosk has a rectangular glass opal with the word "TELEPHONE" in black lettering on each side, a vent below, and a central embossed crown on top. The kiosks rise into four segmental-headed pediments that end in a saucer dome. They are made of cast iron and painted in Post Office red.
