See http://warmemscot.s4.bizhat.com/viewtopic.php?t=8926 for full explanation.

This is one of 13 representative colours replaced in St Giles following the refurbishment of the 1990s. It has been identified as being the Colour of the Edinburgh Civil Defence Messenger Service and is marked as C3 on the list on the previous thread.

I have moved the appropriate plaque from the previous post to this thread.

The Scottish Screen Archive website has the details of The Message Must Get Through:
