The dust covers are coming off at the National Trust for Scotland’s Hill House in Helensburgh as it prepares to open to visitors for the summer season from Thursday 1st April.
The 20th century house was designed by the internationally-renowned Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Its scenic location and striking interiors make the Hill House a must-see for any Mackintosh enthusiast.
For Mackintosh, as for any good designer, the context of an artwork is part of the fabric of the whole, so he attended to the design of the garden as well as to that of the house itself. This means that the experience of visiting Hill House is a very rich one.
Since the first week of the 2010 opening of the property falls at Eastertime, the management has attended to the experience for families. Cadbury Easter egg trails will take place from Friday nd to Monday 5th April.
Property manager, Lorna Hepburn says: ’2010 promises to be a great season for the Hill House. Interest in Charles Rennie Mackintosh has never been higher and we are lucky to care for this iconic and beautiful example of his work. We look forward to bringing the story of his vision and talent to life for many visitors throughout the year’.
The Hill House is open daily from Thursday 1st April until 31st October from 13:30 until 17:30. Entry costs £8.50 for an adult and £21 for a family. For more information, call 0844 493 2208.
