About The Hill House
This is one of Charles and Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh's most famous works, probably second only to the Glasgow School of Art. The House has been encased in a protective steel chainmail ‘Box‘ to protect it from the elements. Visitors are now able to get a unique perspective of the House from the walkways of the Box, as well as being able to visit the interior of the House. In 1982 the house was donated to the National Trust for Scotland.Address : Upper Colquhoun St, Helensburgh G84 9AJ, UK
