4 night tour to Glasgow including programme of attractions

Charles Rennie Mackintosh, born in Glasgow in 1868, was a Scottish architect, designer, water colourist and artist.  His artistic approach had much in common with European symbolism. His work, alongside that of his wife, was influential on European design movements such as Art Nouveau and Secessionism and won praise from the great modernists. He is among the most important figures of the Moderne Style.
