Phone Box Thursday: A961, St Mary’s

(Can I make the ‘Phone Boxing Day’ joke again? Yes? Yes? No?*)

We’re still in Orkney, and here’s one outside a seemingly-closed post office.

This one does have a phone in! However, Dad notes that yet again, it was not listed on the Ordnance Survey map. This seems to be a theme for this part of northern Scotland.

*Either way, apparently whenever Boxing Day falls on a Thursday, I end up doing a post about a phone box outside a post office in the Northern Isles…

Phone Box Thursday: Pier Road, Burray

We’re now in Orkney thanks to Mum and Dad’s travels.

We’re back to the interesting phone box re-uses! This one is a stall for selling veg – tomatoes and cucumbers. It doesn’t appear to be manned so perhaps it works on an honesty system?

Again, this one wasn’t marked on the Ordnance Survey map.
