Royal Mile police box

Okay, kiddo. Have you ever seen a police car driving down the street with the lights and siren blaring? Well, sometimes police officers need a special place to go when they are on their patrols. A police box is a small building where police officers can go to take a break, call for help, or talk to people who need their help.

The Royal Mile Police Box is a special police box in Scotland that was built a long, long time ago. It has a cool red phone box look with a blue light on top, just like the TARDIS in Doctor Who.

Even though the Royal Mile Police Box is old, it's still used today by police officers to communicate with their headquarters and keep watch over the area. They can go in there if they need to talk to someone, take a break from walking around or if someone needs help.

So, the Royal Mile Police Box is like a special tiny police station that police officers can go to when they are on duty in Scotland. Pretty neat, huh?
