Website | EmailBuilt for Walter Blackie at the beginning of the 20th century, this house is a wonderful showcase of Mackintosh architecture and furniture design. Margaret MacDonald, Mackintosh's wife, was responsible for the textile designs. Take time to wander through and appreciate the beautifully preserved rooms and perhaps stop for a quiet read in the library. An exhibition area explores the origins of the famous Glasgow Style and presents examples of the original fabrics and stained glass. The gardens are attractive on a sunny day and the tearooms provide welcome refreshment. Groups must book in advance and may only visit in the mornings.
