I Spy Scotland Street School

I haven't been here for years, but after a great day out, certainly keen to go back. In an original school building (designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh), the museum gives information about the history of schooling/education and Glasgow's culture. You can walk through the school corridors, have a lesson in a classroom, play traditional games.

Good venue

There were automatic doors at the entrance with a ramp access. There was an elevator to all floor. Some wide doorways. Signs and pictures were accessible to most. Accessible toilets. There was only one small section with stairs only access but this did not affect the overall experience. Enjoyable experience.
