It ever seemed to me, when I studied there, both every bit a pupil together with every bit a nipper inwards Sabbatum morn fine art classes, an exotic position of the imagination…. all nooks together with crannies, guarded yesteryear stern ancient statues together with amount of artistic possibilities. There is no greater symbol of the artistic spirit of Scotland than the Mackintosh Building.
