This wall box can be found on the corner of a house adjacent to the B9127 road at the Kirkton of Kinnettles, three miles south-west of the town of Forfar, in a rural location.

The box is still in good condition, mainly due to the usual various coats of red paint. The VR insignia is at the top with a crown in between.
