Located in Glasgow's "style mile," the Willow Tearooms (closed until 2018) were designed by internationally renowned architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh and opened their doors in 1903. The tearooms quickly became a very popular spot to have a cup of tea in Glasgow, and the popularity has not diminished to this day. Mackintosh built the lovely Art Nouveau building for Mrs. Miss Cranston, a local business woman who was a strong promoter of temperance.

The Willow Tearooms are a wonderful place to have a traditional afternoon tea, and you can try many Scottish specialties such as Cullen Skink, Scrambled Eggs with Lapsang Souchong Smoked Salmon, Scottish Savoury dishes, Crab Cakes, Potato Cakes, Ciabatta, and the famous Willow meringues.
