Glasgow Travel Guide

The Best Architectural Landmarks

by Frommers Travel Guides

Glasgow School of Art: Architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh's global reputation rests in large part on his magnificent Glasgow School of Art, which is still in use. It's a highlight of the Mackintosh trail, which legions of his fans follow through the city every year. Nearby is his groundbreaking facade for the Willow Tea Rooms.
Holmwood House: On the city's Southside, this villa is probably the best example of Alexander "Greek" Thomson's innovative style as applied to stately Victorian homes. Magnificently original, its restoration (which is ongoing) has revealed that the architect was concerned with almost every element of the house's design.
