About this audio guide
This guide to Scotland Street School in Glasgow follows Charles Rennie Mackintosh through his last commission in his home city, and a school board that wanted something cheaper than he did. It touches the Edwardian tenement children the building was made for, and the shipyard city that later emptied around it. Start outside, facing the two glass stair towers on the front.
