Glasgow鈥檚 vanished fashion industry and the Dundonian superstar preacher who fell from grace. Susan Morrison investigates.
Right in the heart of what鈥檚 now Glasgow's 'Merchant City', there was a vanished industry we rarely ever talk about.

Moving back in time to the 16th century we explore the biggest scandal of the early Reformation church - the firebrand minister of Dundee who spectacularly fell from grace. Dr Bess Rhodes of St Andrews University has been digging into the very chequered career of Paul Methven and his relations to women.
