Mackintosh House
Attached to the Hunterian Art Gallery, this is a reconstruction of the first home that Charles Rennie Mackintosh
bought with his wife, noted artist Mary Macdonald. It's fair to say that interior decoration was one of their strong
points; the Mackintosh House is startling even today. The quiet elegance of the hall and dining room on the ground
floor give way to a stunning drawing room. There's something otherworldly about the very mannered style of the
beaten silver panels, the long-backed chairs and the surface decorations echoing Celtic manuscript illuminations.
You wouldn't have wanted to be the guest that spilled a glass of red on this carpet.
