Glasgow born Charles Rennie Mackintosh was  one of the world's most remarkable and influential architects and a major influence on European Art Nouveau.  He has left a remarkable andworld class design legacy and many of his buildings can be visited in Glasgow and nearby Helensburgh.

To honour and celebrate the man and his work, the City of Glasgow has installed an innovative network of Bluetooth beacons at all Mackintosh venues, such as the The Mackintosh House at the Hunterian, Queens Cross Church, Mackintosh at The Willow and many more.

The app also provides practical information for each venue, Mackintosh news & events and a map of all the venues.
