local hero

went to pennan to see the 'most famous phone box in scotland' tho  i'm not sure not if you're under 45 that it is. the phone box in the film isn't the one in the village, which has a garage built next to it, a post box in front of it and, when i was there, a car parked and blocking it entirely. but it's still the pennan of the film, even if it isn't. it's still beautiful but i'm guessing, as with so much of rural scotland these days, i'd hazards it's all holiday cottages these days, if indeed anyine lives there at all. the pennan inn is closed, up for sale, and not even functional as a bar - no real surprise. worth a visit but saddening. am watching the film for the first time in years this weekend, can't wait
