Details Telephone kiosk, of standard K6 type, situated on the main road at the entrance drive to Crathie Kirk. Designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott in 1935 and produced between 1936 and 1968, the new K6 was constructed from cast-iron and painted Post Office red. It stands 8ft 3 inches tall, and was based on Scott's 1924 design, retaining the latter's Soanian dome and curved corners, but with changes to the glazing to create a broad central light with narrow margin lights. The kiosk has 3 sides of lying-pane glazing with narrow margin lights, and a blind cast-iron panel to the rear holding the telephone and shelf. Rectangular glass opal with 'TELEPHONE' in black lettering to each side with vent below and surmounted by a central embossed crown.
