Armin in Scotland 2000 - Hill House in Helensburgh

After visiting the various Charles Rennie Mackintosh buildings in Glasgow I moved on to Helensburgh, approx 20 miles northwest of Glasgow on the Firth of Clyde. Helensburgh is the home to Hill House, which CRM designed and built for the publisher Walter Blackie 1902-1904. This page should only give an impression of the building, if you are interested in more details you might want to visit the Charles Rennie Mackintosh section of my website.
The entrance to Hill House seen through a cut out in the garden wall. Hill House is open 1 April to 31 October from 1:30pm to 5:00pm. It's a National Trust property. A small tearoom can be found in the old kitchen.	Hill House from the garden. You have an excellent view over the Firth of Clyde from here (there must be a reason for the name "Hill House"...)
Me in the garden outside of Hill House	Unfortunately you can't take any pictures inside of the house, I hope this picture gives you at least an impression of what you'll find inside. The rooms, the furniture, the use of colour and light, it's stunning.
