The famous Willow Tea Rooms, Glasgow, designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh.

The Willow Tea Rooms are unique cultural attractions based upon the work and buildings of the world famous architect, Charles Rennie Mackintosh. We recognise the importance of the built heritage and that our activities impact on the environment. We are committed to continual improvement in our environmental practices.
