Until the museum re opens, you can claim a find by posting a photo of yourself or something of yours at the lighthouse sign in the lane

For the best free views of Glasgow, visit Macintosh's water tower in the Lighthouse.

The lighthouse, formally the Glasgow Herald building, was designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh while he was a young draughtsman in the architectural practice of Honeyman and Keppie. The building was a warehouse at the back of the printing office of the Glasgow Herald. Mackintosh designed the tower - a prominent feature of the building - to contain an 8,000-gallon water tank. It was to protect the building and all its contents from the risk of fire. The Lighthouse, Scotland’s Centre for Architecture took its new role after 15 years of silence, having stood unused since the Herald moved to new offices in the early eighties The Lighthouse remains a successful visitor attraction and venue attracting people from all over the world. Today, The Lighthouse, Scotland’s Centre for Design and Architecture continues to re-emerge as a Design Centre and beacon for the creative industries in Scotland.

Address: The Lighthouse, 11 Mitchell Lane, G1 3NU

Entry is free and open Mon- Sat 10.30am – 5pm. Sun 12pm – 5pm.
