Man's 1,700-mile round trip to save rare phone box
A man has travelled from Cornwall to the Isle of Lewis to make 52 calls from a rural telephone box in order to keep it in service.
William Arnold took the 1700-mile (2,735km) round trip to visit the rare phone box in Einacleit as part of a project to preserve phone lines in rural communities. Ofcom guidelines state a minimum of 52 calls have to be made from a phone box each year in order for it to remain operational.
Today's Anna Foster speaks to Arnold about why he did it.
