St. Peter's Seminary
| Condition | The future of St. Peter’s Seminary at present is unknown. Although it has been listed as Category A, one of only 42 post war Scottish buildings to be granted ‘special architectural or historic interest’. Local artists have organised guided walks, sound and light performances and community events within its walls over the last decade. Recent plans for it to be turned into an multi-disciplinary arts venue fell through due to viability issues and its remote location. Special thanks to Yasmin Zadeh |
| Architects | Gillespie, Kidd & Coia |
| Construction Date | 1966 |
Built by Gillespie, Kidd and Coia in 1966 as a homage to Le Corbusier and once home to almost 100 trainee Roman catholic priests, St. Peter’s Seminary rapidly fell into a state of disrepair due to significant water entry and maintenance difficulties after its completion. The architects and owners both blamed each other for the building’s decline and eventually in 1980 it was abandoned as a seminary, becoming home to a drug rehabilitation centre for almost a decade before eventually being left open to the elements once and for all.
