I guess it's a computer error

If you type "Edinburgh brothels" into maps.google.co.uk will give you ten hits. The locations that come up include exclusive restaurants, the Edinburgh International Film Festival headquarters, and a Christian Publishing house.

It pulls up the locations of no real brothels.

Apparently other google engines do list the twenty saunas and massage outlets in Edinburgh.

The problem with maps.google.co.uk apparently shows up outside of Edinburgh, as well.

But the problem is not just confined to the Capital. In Tonbridge, in the south of England, one user decided to search for the brothel nearest his home and was directed to Kent County Police Headquarters.
