Whilst in the area visiting a relative, thought it would be rude not to have a gander!
Tucked away in a corner of Scotland.
Absolutely terrible weather, talk about raining!!!
Visited with....my Mum!! (probably never gonna say that again )
Spot of history, for those that dont know it.
St. Peter's Seminary is a disused Roman Catholic seminary near Cardross in Scotland.
Designed by the firm of Gillespie, Kidd and Coia, it has been described by the international architecture conservation organisation as a modern "building of world significance".
It is one of only 42 post-war buildings in Scotland to be listed at Category A, the highest level of protection for a building of "special architectural or historic interest".
In 1980 the building closed as a seminary, subsequently becoming a drug rehabilitation centre. However similar maintenance problems remained and it was finally vacated by the end of the 1980s.
In 1995 a fire badly damaged Kilmahew House that it had to be demolished. The building was Category A listed by Historic Scotland in 1992, and in October 2005 was named as Scotland's greatest post-WWII building by the architecture magazine "Prospect".
