On 24 October 2026, a talk titled 'Dingin’ Doon the Towers' will be held at the St Mungo Museum of Religious Life & Art in Glasgow. Dominic d' Angelo will discuss the historical context surrounding the demolition of the cathedral's medieval towers in the 19th century. The event is open to all and does not require booking.
Did you know Glasgow Cathedral once had 2 towers outside the great west doors? The medieval towers, as old as the main structure, were demolished in the 19th century much to the dismay of modern historians. Why then, when a new appreciation for the Cathedral was blossoming, was it approved? Join us as Dominic d' Angelo, Chair of the Alexander 'Greek' Thomson Society, delves into the past to explore the reasons behind the demolition of the towers and what else Glasgow's oldest building lost in the process. All are welcome - No Booking is necessary. Enjoy a specially curated talk about the history and context of a new object(s) from the Burrell Collection each week, delivered by Curators, Gallery Assistants, Volunteer Guides and more! Interested in rock or fossils and want to find out more about Scotland's geo-heritage? Head along to Geo Natter at Kelvin Hall in Glasgow to celebrate all things geological and palaeontological!
