Description

The K6 Telephone Kiosk on Main Street in North Queensferry was designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott in 1935 and produced between 1936 and 1968. This standard telephone kiosk features three sides of lying-pane glazing with eight panes high and narrow margin lights. One glazed side has a cup handle aligned with the fourth and fifth panes, which form the door, while the rear has a blind cast-iron panel that holds the telephone and a shelf. Each side of the kiosk displays a rectangular glass opal with the word "TELEPHONE" in black lettering, a vent below, and a central embossed crown on top. The kiosk rises into four segmental-headed pediments that culminate in a saucer dome. It is made of cast iron and painted in Post Office red.
