If you’re out and about and need a pitstop, don’t overlook small sheds, horse boxes or former phone boxes as these are often honesty boxes.
What was once a rural community offering, has now spread the length and breadth of Scotland offering homebaking, flowers, eggs and produce. These are unmanned, so payment is on a trust basis and many now take card as well as cash.
Here we take a look at some of the best honesty boxes in Scotland with many on the islands.
