Lighthouse

Lonely Planet review

If you've been admiring Glasgow's architecture, make sure you check out the Lighthouse, one of Glasgow's hidden treasures. Tucked away in a small lane, in the former Glasgow Herald building, it serves as Scotland's Centre for Architecture & Design, giving an insight into modern architectural feats. It was designed by Mackintosh in 1893, and also features the Mackintosh Interpretation Centre.

Learn more about this extraordinary man, see exhibitions of avant-garde furniture and drink in great rooftop views from the former water tower. It's also worth dropping into the Doocot Cafe & Bar here for a different kind of drink - it's a good place to rest weary legs and minds.
