King George V Dock
We begin our voyage with an inspiring journey along the historic Upper Clyde, once the lifeblood of Scotland’s shipbuilding industry. Arriving in Glasgow, we visit Mackintosh Queen’s Cross, the only church ever designed by Mackintosh which opened in 1899. Elegant, intimate, and quietly powerful, it showcases his early mastery of light, form, and symbolism. Continue to the original Willow Tea Rooms on Sauchiehall Street, where Mackintosh’s distinctive interiors were created in 1903 for the visionary Kate Cranston. Here, you’ll enjoy a refined afternoon tea surrounded by iconic design that remains as striking today as it was over a century ago.
