Glasgow - August 2001

House for an Art Lover

Glasgow's most famouse architect, Charles Rennie Mackintosh entered a competition in 1901 to design a 'House for an Art Lover'. The house was not realised during Mackintosh's lifetime. The construction of the house began in 1989 and was completed in 1996.

Near the entrance to the house



Garden seat. Those colourful jelly mould type things were...colourful jelly mould type things. Don't know what their purpose is.



Glasgow Science Centre (and other places)

Glasgow Science Centre and IMAX Cinema. Unfortunately you can't see the Glasgow Tower in these pictures which stands alongside these two buildings. It's the only building in the world capable of turning 360° from the ground up.



I don't remember what this is or where it was. We were out retro clothes shopping one day when I saw the view and snapped this photo.



Bellahouston Walled Gardens

This is the entrance to the gardens. The plaque reads:
THE KISS OF THE SUN FOR PARDON
THE SONG OF THE BIRDS FOR WORTH
YOU ARE NEARER GOD'S HEART IN A GARDEN
THAN ANYWHERE ELSE ON EARTH
-ANON
