You’ll see the top two are in Forres, the rest are within the wider Moray area. Below is a list of remaining red boxes in the area. We will consider all adoption requests. However, there may be occasional reasons why a box may not be able to be adopted, for example if it is required to be retained by BT for another purpose.

BT is offering out 11 phone boxes in Moray for adoption.
The company's Adopt a Kiosk programme is asking local communities to pay just £1 in order to take them over.
Alan Lees, BT Enterprise unit director for Scotland, said: "With most people now using mobile phones, it’s led to a huge drop in the number of calls made from payphones.
"At the same time, mobile coverage has improved significantly in recent years due to investment in masts, particularly in rural areas.
"We’re currently rationalising our payphone estate to make it fit for the future, and the ‘Adopt a Kiosk’ scheme makes it possible for local communities to retain their local phone box, with a refreshed purpose for the community.
"Thousands of communities have already come up with a fantastic array of ideas to re-use their beloved local phone box."
The Community Heartbeat Trust works with BT and communities to instal defibrillators in local kiosks.
Martin Fagan, the charity's national secretary, said: "BT’s phone box kiosks are iconic structures, and repurposing for this life-saving use has given them a new lease of life.
"To date, we have converted about 800 ourselves, with another 200 in the pipeline.
"Placing the equipment in the heart of a community is important to save on time. Kiosks are historically at the centre of the community, and thus great locations for defibrillators."
Communities can adopt a kiosk if they are a recognised public body, such as a parish council, community council or town council.
Boxes can also be adopted by registered charities or by individuals who have a payphone on their own land.
BT will continue to provide electricity (if already in place) to power the light for adopted phone boxes, free of charge.
