A Glasgow church which is the only one designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh will reopen for its new season.
Queen's Cross Church was opened in the city's Maryhill in 1899 and Mackintosh, who was then a young budding apprentice, was entrusted as its architect.
While he designed an Anglican cathedral in Liverpool, it was never completed which makes the north Glasgow church a unique landmark.
Known as the Mackintosh Church, the venue is being opened with the assistance of the Charles Rennie Mackintosh Society for the 2023 season on Monday, February 20.

Visitors will be able to see the magnificent stained-glass windows including the iconic Blue Heart Window.
Other highlights include decorative carvings of birds, insects and plant forms and a communion table, also designed by Mackintosh.
Guests can unwind with a coffee in the hall while watching one of the Mackintosh films, and check out the range of books in the library and resource centre and gifts for sale.
Tours are available while staff are on hand to answer any questions.
