Scotland Street School, 225 Scotland Street, Glasgow

225 Scotland Street Public School was built to the designs of Charles Rennie Mackintosh between 1903 and 1907.

Built in red ashlar sandstone, the principal (north) elevation is three-storey, seven-bays with a small central infants' entrance. Flanked by two bold glazed staircase towers over boys and girls entrances, mullioned with small panes, conical slate roofs. Flanking cloakrooms set in receding stages with buttresses. Asymmetrical end elevations with tall chimneystacks. Arch to east boundary wall with bell cupola.

Rear (south) elevation is three-storey, 18-bay austerely detailed, with stylised architrave and swag decoration to end and central bays. Metal framed windows. Slate roof. Interior simply tiled corridor plan.

At the northwest corner of the site is a two-storey janitor's house with oriel, swept roofs and chimney stacks. The boundary wall with its gates and railings, with shallow arched ashlar entrance and outside toilet block, were also part of the original scheme. Closed as a school due to demolition of the surrounding housing, and reopened as a museum of education in November 1990.
