Still looks a damn sight better than something from 'Snax in the city'..the new tiny pink hole i' the wall cafe in Buchanan St (opposite Buchana St Tube entrance) ::):
Like Sherlock Holmes, except younger and with better sideburns.

I don't recognise it, but there is a clue in the upper right of the pic.

You can see the roof of a factory above the wall, and it has sign made up of white letters on the brickwork, but too small to make out.

I know of three of these old Police Boxes in various states of disrepair. They're lying in a yard awaiting restoration!!!

To resurrect an old topic with a question - am I right in saying there was a police box at the bottom of either Wellington or West Campbell Street until the mid 90s, or I am wrong?

i had no idea the police box on buchanan street was an origional! i get a hot chocolate from it every time i pass! i love it, really good idea to turn it into a hot drinks counter! but i think they should leave some in their origional state though

Two that I remember were the one on the corner of Ruthven St. and Byres Rd. and there was also one on Copland Rd. just up from the subway.
