No visit to Glasgow would be complete without a bit of Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
Glasgow’s Clockwork Orange
Underground by Sprout appreciation
The Glasgow Subway, which opened in 1896 and was renovated in 1996, consists only of a circular line. The colour scheme of the wagons and the seat upholstery is warm in tone, with orange dominating the scheme. If we put 2 and 2 together, we resolve the question of its most famous nickname: the Clockwork Orange. Beyond that, it has is no further relation to Anthony Burgess’ book or Stanley Kubrick’s film adaptation (apart from, perhaps, around Halloween).
