Mackintosh Illuminated

Will you help us protect the artistic legacy of Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Margaret Macdonald?


Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Margaret Macdonald were pioneers of the world-renowned ‘Glasgow Style’ – a unique blend of art, design and architecture that helped shape the modern movement at the beginning of the 20th century. Their visionary work has inspired generations and continues to captivate imaginations more than a century later.


Now, their legacy needs your help.


We’re the proud custodians of two of Mackintosh and Macdonald’s most accessible works: The Hill House in Helensburgh and Mackintosh at the Willow in Glasgow. 


Mackintosh Illuminated is our ambitious five-year project to preserve, protect and promote the built heritage of Mackintosh and Macdonald, as well as their legacy. Delivered in two stages, the project will: 


  • Tackle the urgent conservation needs of the Hill House
  • Transform public understanding of Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Margaret Macdonald
  • Inspire new communities through learning, engagement and community work

Both these historic buildings are outstanding expressions of the couple’s creative genius, but they face real and urgent challenges.
