John Cairney 
The Quest for Charles Rennie Mackintosh 

Like Charles Rennie Mackintosh, John Cairney began his career at the age of 15 at the Glasgow School of Art. He tells of the working life of Charles Rennie Mackintosh as well as the beautiful love story which tragically ended with Mackintosh’s sudden death at the age of 60. His wife and co-artist, Margaret Macdonald died three years later.
