House for an Art Lover
Designed in 1901 by Charles Rennie Mackintosh, as an entry to a competition to design a 'House for an Art Lover' described as a 'grand home in a thoroughly modern style, where one can be lavishly entertained' his design was finally realised in 1996 following almost a century of admiration from scholars and architects alike.
The park in which the house is set also offers the Burrell Collection, one of the greatest collections acquired by a single person, and many outdoor activities - or the perfect place to just take a stroll in the park.
