About this activity

Explore the life, works and tales of Glasgow's most famous designer, architect and artist at 10am on Saturdays in summer. Join us as we wander the streets of Mackintosh's home city to experience and witness his lasting legacy.

We'll take a deeper look at his life, marriage, influences and incredible expertise; visiting some of his most famous works that still stand to this day, his first married home, and some lesser known treasures along the way.

The tour will last 2 hours, including a stop at the world famous, Mackintosh designed Lighthouse museum, the former Daily Record building, Mackintosh's first married home and more! You'll finish up at Mackintosh Tearooms, with tickets including entry into the incredible exhibition.
