Pick up a homemade treat from this decommissioned phone box in Argyll thanks to local bakers, Holly Ford and Bron Campbell.
Friends Holly Ford and Bron Campbell decided to use their talents for baking and spread a little sweetness to Cladich and beyond by opening their shop Cakes in the Call Box last year.
Holly and Bron gave the phone box some much needed TLC with a lick of paint, installed shelves and added some decorations.
Every day they bring a selection of homemade cakes and tray bakes to sell to locals and passersby who can leave a donation in the honesty box in the phone box.
