Scotland - Isle of Mull - Carsaig remote phone box

The phone box featured in the 1945 film 'I know where I'm Going' at Carsaig Bay, Isle of Mull, Scotland. This remote location is at the end of a 4-5 mile single-track road from a larger road on the Ross of Mull. The famous red phone box at Carsaig was saved by movie fans (you can dial its number +44 (0)1681-704203). In danger of being removed due to lack of use it is now just used by hikers unable to obtain a mobile (cell) phone signal. Fans of the movie rescued the iconic phone kiosk from crumbling. Visited by film buffs, the kiosk now has Historic Scotland list B status because of its part on screen. And during a pilgrimage to celebrate the Powell and Pressburger film’s 65th anniversary, fans noticed that the box was in a poor condition.
