Today, I arranged a provided a small group, Charles Rennie Mackintosh tour for some visitors from a variety of overseas countries. Tomorrow, I will post a full record of this fascinating tour, but in the meantime I am presenting some images of Mackintosh’s masterpiece, namely the Glasgow School of Art, 167 Renfrew Street. although officially designed by the Glasgow firm of Honeyman and Keppie, it is acknowledged that Mackintosh actually drew up the scheme.

Due to tight finances, half of the building was completed in 1899 with the western end finished exactly a decade later in 1909 when Mackintosh was 41. This has been called the most important building worldwide in that decade.

We enjoyed a full tour of the interior, which is still a working college, during which photographs were not allowed.

The images below are of the building’ s exterior.

The following two images are of the main entrance.
