What is recorded here
Douglas Square in Newcastleton still holds a K2 Telephone Kiosk, a small 20th Century box tucked into the Scottish Borders. Its red shape may have marked a busy corner or a quiet pause, giving strangers a private voice and locals a familiar landmark. The square likely echoed with footsteps, rain on pavement, and the occasional clang of a coin before digital phones erased the need for such a booth.
