The iconic red BT phone box on CairnGorm Mountain situated in the mountain garden just above the Base Station of the funicular is amongst over 170 listed for removal by BT in the Highland Council area.
The Highland Council is consulting on BT's plans and where a box is more than 400m away from another one, if people object the council can intervene to stop BT removing the phone and box. The consultation closes on 24th October.

As well as being something of an iconic feature, it's also a potential life saver - there may only be a handful of calls made but one could literally be the difference between life and death in an emergency situation, esp as this box is widely indicated on maps.
