A tenement museum that captures 20th-century lifestyle in Glasgow has been named among the top spots to experience 'true Scottish history'.
The Tenement House on the city's Buccleuch Street has been placed in Lonely Planet's top nine favourite buildings 'that represent the story of Scotland in three dimensions.
Others named on the list include Stirling Castle, Melrose Abbey, Real Mary King’s Close in Edinburgh and the Hill House in Helensburgh - designed by Glasgow's own Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh, Glasgow Live reports.
And joining them on the list is none other than Tenement House, which Lonely Planet labelled "a cozy Glasgow time warp" and a place which provides "a charming evocation of middle-class life".
About the historic house museum, the travel bible wrote: "If Real Mary King’s Close recounts Scottish city life in the 1600s, the cozy time warp of the Tenement House winds the clock forward 300 years.
"Glasgow’s rise is a big part of Scotland’s history – its population shot from around 80,000 in 1801 to ten times that a century later as trade and industry accelerated.
"A shorthand typist named Agnes Toward occupied this tenement flat (a small apartment block) from 1911 to 1965, and today you can visit her home as she lived in it – complete with gas lighting, grandfather clock, coal-fired cooking range, recipes, ornaments and 90-year-old jar of plum jam.
"A charming evocation of middle-class life, this apartment provides a worthy complement to grander Glasgow monuments like Kelvingrove and the inventive Riverside Museum."
