The Best - from Charles Rennie Mackintosh

We were so HAPPY when House for an Art Lover was finally completed in the mid-1990s.
It is the PERFECT tribute to local boy and world-wide hero Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
It doesn't matter when you visit, because his wonderful designs play with light in the most extraordinary ways.
The main drawing room gives me a pain in my chest - its so perfect, I feel like I want to cry :-)
And the bedrooms are so DREAMY!
Remember to take your camera when you visit. You're in for a treat.
Oh! And if you're thinking about having something to eat in the lovely restaurant, bear in mind that it only ever opens for lunch. Phone in advance for a booking, so you're not disappointed...
... (this is the voice of sorry experience talking!)
Have fun. This is a true Glaswegian treasure.
