French Guided Tour : In the Footsteps of Charles Rennie Mackintosh

Date: 28 Sep 2025, 10:00am - 12:00pm GMT UK

A guided walk led by Léa Masciocchi to discover—or rediscover—the most iconic of Glasgow’s artists.


On this tour, we’ll take a closer look at iconic buildings like the Willow Tea Rooms and the Lighthouse but also uncover some lesser-known—and sometimes almost hidden—spots from Mackintosh’s life and work. We’ll trace his early days as an architect, reflect on both the highs and challenges of his career, and dive into his inspiring creative partnership with the brilliant artist Margaret MacDonald.
