Overview

This walk explores Mackintosh’s hidden architectural projects around Glasgow’s city centre. By delving into Mackintosh’s early career during an era of booming design, you’ll discover the architecture which shaped a post-victorian Glasgow and the Mackintosh legacy. Join the Charles Rennie Mackintosh Society volunteer guides as they take it in turns to describe the history behind each building. The walk begins at the bottom of the lighthouse on Mitchell lane, and ends on Sauchiehall Street outside Mackintosh at the Willow.
