UK EVENT
Wed 14 May 2025
A four-day tour is planned. Our two days in Glasgow will include Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Alexander ‘Greek’ Thompson, dinner at the Glasgow Art Club, the Hunterian and the refurbished Burrell Collection - where we will be treated to a behind the scenes tour. We will then head west to Loch Fyne for tours of Ardkinglas House, designed by Sir Robert Lorimer, and Dunderave Castle (now a private home and not usually open to visitors). On the Isle of Bute, we will have a full day at Mount Stuart led by its former Curator, Jessica Insley, touring the Gothic Revival mansion, plus a rare opportunity to handle some special decorative arts objects from the collection of the 3rd Marquess of Bute, designed by William Burges.
Bookings closed on 14 March; any further applications will be subject to accommodation still being available. Please contact Martin Webster, Chairman of the Events sub-committee for information.
