Been seeing these round towers by the canals forever, but have never quite figured out what their purpose is.

Only for the adverts? Surely there is another reason.

They are all ovrr scotland also, especially edinburgh, maybe a purpose in the old days likr a old police patrol box? Eitherway they are just used for advertisment all over.
They must find it difficult, those who have taken authority as truth, rather than truth as authority

The temp ones have sprung up in Edi over the festival period for the past couple of years. Not as big as the Dam ones but still there for the same purpose. Supposed to stop the comedians advertising their shows by plastering the Watty Scott monument from head to toe as well the rest of the old town.

They cover the sewer access ala 'The Third Man' movie. Quite a network down there. A secret place for a smelly smoke.
Completely guessing
