31st March saw 35 Friends enjoy a day out devoted to Charles
Rennie Mackintosh which included visits to House for an Art Lover in
Bellahouston Park and Scotland St School. We enjoyed a tour of the House,
especially the splendid music room (pictured), though sadly the rain meant less
time spent in the lovely garden and looking at the new sculptures.

Scotland St School brought back happy (?) memories of schooldays to some of our
members when we visited the old classroom with its tiered rows of wooden desks
with inkwells. On hand was the “Horrible Heidie” to keep us in check but he
didn’t stop us appreciating the architecture and designs of Mackintosh’s
remarkable building.
