08/06/2004 Entry: "Mackintosh Trail Ticket for Glasgow Style Lovers"

Glasgow celebrates native artist/architect
Glasgow has launched a ticket which enables visitors to pay only once to see all the attractions linked to the Scottish city’s art nouveau genius. The Charles Rennie Mackintosh Trail ticket costs £10 ($18, 15 Euros) and gives entry to all paying Mackintosh attractions, plus unlimited travel on bus and subway services in Greater Glasgow.

Together with his wife, Margaret Macdonald, her sister Frances and Herbert McNair, Mackintosh was responsible for laying the foundations of “the Glasgow style”. An outstanding architect, designer and artist, he has been hailed as one of the principal founders of European Art Nouveau. The attractions covered by the ticket include:

· Glasgow School of Art – generally regarded as his masterpiece.

· Queen’s Cross Church, Willow Tea Rooms, the Daily Record Building, The Hill House at Helensburgh and the reassembled interiors of the Mackintosh House at the Hunterian Gallery.

· The Lighthouse, a centre for Architecture, Design and the City; and the House for an Art Lover, built in Bellahouston Park from drawings submitted as a competition entry in a German magazine in 1901.

The ticket, which reinforces the theme of the city’s recent rebranding as “Glasgow: Scotland with Style”, is available from the city’s SPT travel centres, tourist information centres, or online.
