See the house Charles Rennie Mackintosh designed for the publisher Walter Blackie, down to the furniture and light fittings, then walk the high walkways of the see-through box built to let it dry out.
Why it's a good date: You get Mackintosh's rooms and a look over the roof to the Clyde, which nobody will be able to do once the box comes down. It's a steep walk up from the station, so take a taxi if it's wet, and check the season before you go.
