text: Policing is not a topic which interests me from a purely factual point of view but I can still appreciate a well put together MuseumnnEdinburgh Police Centre Museum is a wee free museum on the Royal Mile It is run by Lothian and Borders Police but the museum is not from a too overly police perspective It tells the story of Edinburghs police force and some of the more colourful episodes of Edinburghs criminal history Despite my initial lack of enthusiasm even I managed to find the displays entertainingnnThe museum is literally one room and should not take long to look around The space is used efficiently and there is a decent amount to take in consideringnnIts free it does not take long and it is right in the middle of town So if you are at all interested you have no excuse to pop in
