A lengthy probe into the second major blaze at an iconic Mackintosh Glasgow School of Art building in the space of just over four years has failed to identify how it started. The building was designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh and was the site for two devastating fires. Here we look back at the Mackintosh building and works of students who studied there.
