Moments in Time is a family-friendly outdoor installation of iconic Scottish police boxes. Step inside and allow yourself to be transported back in time as we take you on a journey through some pivotal moments in Scotland’s scientific history. Through a series of immersive snapshots, you will discover milestones of Scottish scientific achievement from the flowering of philosophy and science during the Enlightenment, through the rapidly mechanising world of the Industrial Revolution, to the data rich and globally connected Information Age.
The boxes will also shine a spotlight on some very special Scottish endeavours and the scientists that have brought them to life, including how women in science, medical pioneers and some very important inventions have shaped our national heritage.

'Our team, led by designer Claire Halleran, turned a smelly bingo hall into a cheap-as-chips but somehow glowing wee space, with Chinese lanterns, bendy mirrors, midnight blue walls, ultra-violet flashes and a brilliant John Byrne mural about dreams and stars. Before each film we cut the lights. A spot light roamed the room, as if Elvis was about to arrive. A song began. Judy singing “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” made us hold our breath; Marilyn Manson’s “Personal Jesus” rocked the place. We treated the screen
as if it was sacred, by covering it with a flag that said The State of Cinema, then dropping it as the movie began.' Mark Cousins
