A Son of the Rock

This is Charles Rennie Mackintosh’€™s lesser Glasgow masterpiece (it comes second to the School Of Art.)

Scotland Street School

The day I visited the School – which is now a museum of Scottish education – there were two buses parked outside making a decent photo impossible so the above picture of the frontage is from the scotcities website where you can find loads of views of both the exterior and the interior.

These are my images:-

Entrance Gates. Lovely arch.

Infant’s Entrance – now the entrance to the museum. Typical Mackintosh motifs.

One of the circular stairwells. The stained glass in these is best seen from inside.

Janitor’s house, sited in the playground.

Side view. The janitor’s house is to the left of this photo.

Detail of side of building at top.

The Glasgow Guide site has on its second page a nice photo of the tiled pillars flanking the Drill Hall just inside the entrance.

Most of the links on the first Google page for Scotland Street School are worth a look.
