Nearly 600 iconic red phone boxes across Scotland are up for grabs – and local communities are being urged to take them on and transform them for the 21st Century. Since 2008, a total of 482 phone boxes across the country have been taken on by communities for just £1 each through BT’s Adopt a Kiosk programme. Redundant phone boxes, once a lifeline of communication before the arrival of mobile phone networks, have been transformed into everything from defibrillator units and mini history museums to art galleries and book exchanges. In Orkney, community organisation Westray Development Trust converted the red phone box into a home for one of the island’s six public access defibrillators, after community first aiders highlighted that there was limited access to this life-saving equipment on the island.
