House for an Art Lover , Glasgow

  The uniqueness the House for an Art Lover is that the building was constructed in the 1990s based on plans that were drawn up in 1901.  The building was originally designed by one of Glasgow’s most famous architects, Charles Rennie Mackintosh and his wife Margaret Macdonald for a competition in a German magazine. Due to late entry, the design was disqualified but it was well-praised at the time.  Eight decades later, engineer Graham Roxburgh, commissioned to restore interiors by Mackintosh in Craigie Hall, had the idea to build the House for an Art Lover based on the architect’s original plans.  In 1990, the exterior and most of the house’s exterior were completed but it took six more years to complete the landscaping around the building and to finally open it up to the public.

Overview of Scotland

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-20718605 Scotland is a part of the United Kingdom. Since 1999, when legislative powers were devolved to a reconstituted Scottish Parliament, it has enjoyed a high degree of autonomy. There are three distinct regions: the Highlands and Islands, a densely populated Central Belt, which includes the main cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow, and the Southern Uplands bordering England.
