Life-saving equipment to treat cardiac arrest victims has been fitted into an unused phone box in an Argyll village.

The traditional red kiosk in Glendaruel now has a defibrillator machine which tells the user how to give treatment with step-by-step instructions.

The machine analyses the victim to determine if they are having a cardiac arrest.

If required, it delivers a powerful but controlled electric shock to restore normal heartbeat.
