Right in the heart of what’s now Glasgow's 'Merchant City', there was a vanished industry we rarely ever talk about. Dr Jade Halbert, Lecturer in Design Studies at the University of Leeds introduces Susan Morrison to Glasgow’s lost rag trade and what happened to it. 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.
