Description
The K6 telephone kiosk in Station Square, Ballater, was designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott in 1935 and produced between 1936 and 1968. This standard kiosk features three sides of lying-pane glazing, arranged in eight vertical panes, with narrow margin lights. One side has a door with a cup handle aligned with the fourth and fifth panes. The rear panel is a blind cast-iron panel that holds the telephone and a shelf. Each side of the kiosk displays a rectangular glass opal with the word "TELEPHONE" in black lettering, a vent below, and a central embossed crown on top. The structure rises into four segmental-headed pediments that culminate in a saucer dome. The kiosk is made of cast iron and is painted Post Office red. It is located in Station Square, outside Albert Memorial Hall and opposite the former Ballater Station, both of which are separately listed.
