Custom byline text:
While Mackintosh, pictured, is enthusiastically presented in his native Glasgow and in Northampton, I had the dispiriting experience of failing to establish a similar cultural trail in Ayrshire five years ago. Inspired by going on one of Robin Crichton's Mackintosh study tours in 2006, I proposed, in 2007, a similar idea to Historic Scotland, South Ayrshire Council and Visit Scotland's Ayrshire and Arran organisation but to no avail.
