Opened in 2018, this reconstruction of the original Willow tearoom, which Mackintosh designed and furnished in the early 20th century for restaurateur Kate Cranston, offers authentic design splendor in its original location. You can admire the architect's distinctive touch in just about every element; he had free rein, and even the teaspoons were given his attention. Alongside the tearoom is a visitor center, with a two-level interactive exhibition about the historical context and Kate Cranston's collaboration with Mackintosh and Margaret Macdonald.
The tearoom offers afternoon teas, light bites and desserts. Tours run daily and should be pre-booked on the National Trust for Scotland's website.
