Yes, and not before time!
They were always something of a 'closed shop'; being only available to Cabbies. I wonder what rest places were available for all the Coachmen and Carriage Drivers who visited from outside the Capital?

They need to be preserved and protected, so many things like this just disappear without any of us knowing about them. _________________ Various Rootes Vehicles. |

I'm not aware of any cabbies bothies in Edinburgh but you can still see the remains lorry drivers' bothies in Spain. They often have distances on their gables.
