We will spend the morning at the Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, discovering the Mackintoshs' own home in Southpark Avenue, ingeniously reconstructed with original furniture and fittings only a short distance from the now demolished original. The museum also contains other Mackintosh works, including his less well-known drawings and watercolours, and outstanding collections of work by James McNeill Whistler and Mackintosh’s contemporaries, the painters known as the Glasgow Boys. We will then proceed to Hill House, Helensburgh, with a brief detour to view the outside of Mackintosh’s distinctive Scotland Street School. Hill House, built for publisher Walter Blackie in a very personal mixture of Arts and Crafts, Scottish Baronial, Art Nouveau and Japonisme, remains Mackintosh’s most authoritative and at the same time charming piece of domestic design. Inside Margaret’s flair for interior design adds to the striking assemblage of rooms and handling of space and light at which her husband excelled. The National Trust for Scotland is currently engaged here in its most ambitious ever restoration project, and the enclosure of Hill House in a protective box allows unparalleled access to views unseen since the original scaffolding came down in 1904.
