description
The present telephone booth is a copy of the type K3 designed by Giles Gilbert Scott in 1927 . Between 1929 and 1935 between 11,000 and 12,000 copies of this type were exhibited in the United Kingdom . Two of these are still preserved today; a specimen in a London zoo and the present one. This makes the Rhynd phone booth the only surviving example in Scotland.
Unlike the previous models, the K3 telephone booth is made of concrete for reasons of cost , which is why its design is also simpler. The phone booth was available in different colors. The copy in Rhynd is white with red door and window bars. It's in a front garden along the main street of the hamlet.
