Glasgow's Leading Attractions

Visitors are warmly welcomed to discover this iconic architectural gem on our award-winning, student-led guided tours.

Guided Tours of the Mackintosh building
Experience the jewel in the crown of Mackintosh’s legacy, with a guided tour through original interiors laced with intriguing furniture, ironwork and stained glass.
