Here’s another box from my nice post-parkrun drive with Geth in Scotland back in May!
(Coordinates 56°58’49.6″N, 4°00’03.6″W.)
This one is a bit neglected, but the overgrowth is quite pretty (or it was on a sunny day in May, anyway).
Geth and I found this one while on our own Scottish adventures. It’s in Aberfeldy Caravan Park, just off the A827.
(Coordinates 56°62’23.1″N, 3°85’78.1″W.)
It seems to be acting as a nice decoration for the caravan park more than anything else!
More from Scotland next week.
Mum and Dad revisited the General Wade’s Military Road phone box in May.
It’s still pretty tatty (and phoneless), but at least it’s still standing!
More from Scotland next week.
Still in Scotland – here’s a more remote one.
(Coordinates 56°88’66.4″N, 4°70’96.3″W.)
Dad reports that the phone is still intact!
A really nice setting, too.
Here’s another Scottish one that Mum and Dad found.
(Coordinates 57°47’32.1″N, 6°33’85.9″W.)
This one is next to a former post office that is seemingly being adapted for other purposes. The phone box itself is a defibrillator box, which is nice to see.
Here’s another phone box on Skye.
(Coordinates 57°47’52.2″N, 6°42’63.8″W.)
This one has a bonus bench as well, which my running club might appreciate if they’re reading!
No phone though. It looks like this might be a decorative one.
Here’s a fairly remote duo from the island of Raasay! Bonus sighting of Dad’s reflection in the glass doors.
(Coordinates 57°34’57.0″N, 6°06’56.8″W.)
No phones in these boxes and no alternative use as yet. Nice to see them out in the islands though!
Here’s another one along the A87 (now on the Isle of Skye after crossing the road bridge).
(Coordinates 57°23’93.2″N, 5°84’77.6″W.)
This phone box sits outside ‘The Misty Bottle’ off-licence and mostly seems to provide décor for the shop. A notice inside informs us that during the COVID-19 lockdowns it was in service as a ‘phood box’ for community exchange of food supplies.
More from the islands next week!
Here’s another one Mum and Dad found in Scotland.
(Coordinates 57°28’27.4″N, 5°52’77.5″W.)
No phone in this one, and it’s looking a bit neglected. Hope it’ll be a candidate for an alternate use at some point!
Here’s another Scottish phone box.
(Coordinates 57°21’42.5″N, 5°42’04.7″W.)
Dad reports an intact phone in this one, which suggests either the locality’s mobile signal is patchy or the council haven’t bothered getting rid of it yet!
Another from the area next week.
