Glasgow, Scotland















Glasgow
was home to Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868-1928) who heralded an outstanding architect and designer who pioneered the Modern Movement. He was famous for designing every aspect of a project down to such details as cutlery, furniture and light fittings. We were able to visit several of his buildings: Hill House, Glasgow School of Art, The Lighthouse, and one of the Willow Tea Rooms. We had a good time visiting the sites and seeing what Glasgow had to offer even though we were only there for less than one day and found a very unique restaurant, Waxy O'Connor's. See the pictures here.
