Staff from The Glasgow School of Art and Historic Scotland are working in partnership to carry out an early phase of reconstruction of this exceptionally important building.
Experts from the Digital Design Studio at the GSA have laser scanned the Western Gable and created a 3d plan. Specialists from Historic Scotland have now marked up the stones in line with this plan.
Tomorrow work will begin on deconstructing and laying aside a small section of the uppermost part of the Western Gable for conservation.
The work will be undertaken by specialist stone masons and the stones will be conserved and protected at Historic Scotland’s Glasgow Cathedral Depot for reinstatement at a later date.
