Telephone Call Boxes, Mar Road, Braemar

The telephone call box on Mar Road in Braemar is a standard K6 telephone kiosk designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott in 1935 and produced between 1936 and 1968. It features three sides of lying-pane glazing, with eight panes high, and narrow margin lights. One glazed side has a cup handle aligned with the fourth and fifth panes, which forms the door. The rear panel is a blind cast-iron panel that holds the telephone and a shelf. Each side of the kiosk has 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 terminate in a saucer dome. The kiosk is made of cast iron and is painted Post Office red.
