Tour Scotland video of an honesty box in rural Perthshire, Scotland. Saw this box at a junction in the road. Plums, 2lbs for £1.50 with an honesty box for the money for the purchase. Nice to still see these in Scotland.
An honesty box is a method of charging for a service, or for a product such as home grown produce, which relies upon each visitor paying at a box using the honour system. Receipts are not issued and such sites are usually unattended. When used in camping sites and other park settings, they are sometimes referred to as an iron ranger as there is often an iron cash box instead of an actual park ranger. Such boxes are typically used in rural areas where the low number of customers and other visitors means that employing an attendant would not bring a positive return on investment. Many are also domestically run operations where attendance is not feasible.
