Hiking

The Hill House was designed and built for the publisher Walter Blackie between 1902-1904. The house was the brainchild of architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh and his wife Margaret, who created almost everything you see, from the building itself to the furniture and textiles. Hill House is in the care of the National Trust for Scotland.

Access to the well cared-for garden is free, however, the Hill House is such a stunning building that you'll want to visit it as well 😉

"The Hill House is considered to be Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s domestic masterpiece. Commissioned by Glasgow book publisher Walter Blackie, up-and-coming architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh and artist Margaret Macdonald worked collaboratively to create almost everything you see here, from the building itself to the furniture and textiles."
