A Sense of Belonging to Scotland
The Complete Collection
By Andy Hall

Glencoe, Argyllshire
The favourite place of Ally McCoist

Glencoe is my favourite place, because, as you can see from the picture, time has no relevance.

House for an Art Lover, Bellahouston Park, Glasgow
The favourite place of Carol Smillie

Living very close to Bellahouston Park, I watched with interest as this Charles Rennie Mackintoshdesigned house was built a few years ago.
   Everything about it appeals to me, the windows, the setting, the walled garden and the delicious food in the café, but my favourite part is the Music Room with its full-length screenprints and embroideries on the French windows, the piano and the sheer light, bright, airy feeling.
   I’m there most weeks of the year for photo shoots, interviews, concerts or just having lunch.
   It says everything about Glasgow’s style and it is my special place.
