Bow Wood

Telephone box at Bridgend of Lintrathen The few buildings at the village of Bridgend of Lintrathen lie immediately below the dam of the Loch of Lintrathen; it's hidden from view in the image by trees. The telephone box is still standing, if leaning; it's not known if there's a functioning telephone inside.
Until recently, close beside the box stood an old, protected road sign; it was demolished by a falling tree during one of the storms of winter 2021-2022. A photograph of it can be seen... <a title="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6043246" href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6043246">Link</a> .
