Communities are being encouraged to adopt and adapt more than 160 traditional red phone boxes.
This latest adoption scheme is designed to celebrate the upcoming 100th anniversary of the red boxes.
BT, the company which owns the boxes and was previously known as British Telecom, introduced its "Adopt a Kiosk" programme in 2008. Since then, about 550 phone boxes have been taken on by communities across Scotland for £1 each. The redundant red box stands in the the village of Strathkinness near St Andrews. Since opening in 2018, there have been more than 25 exhibitions in the mini art space which showcases contemporary art by local, national and international artists.A recent transformation of a red box is this art gallery near St Andrews
Most of the redundant phone boxes are in rural areas. The largest number - 32- are in the Scottish Borders and there are 31 available in the Highlands.
