Ok for a visit. Bit of a trek from Glasgow on foot
My favorite arts & crafts architect❤
The Society stall & volunteers make you feel SO WELCOME. Lots of great history here for all ages. Fantastic.
Beautiful church, the only place of worship designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh. The Society do an outstanding job maintaining it and allowing its splendour to shine. Well worth a visit for the architecture and design details.
Interesting building. We enjoyed the moon exhibit.
