Dundonians, help!

(Not really sure where else to ask this.)
Does anyone know if there's a genuine police box in Dundee? Even one that's a coffe-shop now?

I don't think the Gilbert MacKenzie design was used much outside the Met i.e. in London
Edinburgh ones looked like this:

I'd suggest looking at Dundee local history sites.

Glasgow has the "classic TARDIS look" so I wasn't sure, hmm. Maybe I should set the fic in Glasgow then.

I didn't know that about Glasgow.
There is a Dundee pic but it looks as if you might be better off with Glasgow tbh.
