Modernist ruin given away by Catholic church
The BBC run an article on the ownership of this derelict Brutalist building:
Catholic church give away St Peter?s seminary Cardross
The ownership of an A-listed modernist building which the Catholic Church has been trying to get rid of for years has been transferred to a charitable trust.
Last year, the church described St Peter’s Seminary in Cardross, near Helensburgh, as an “albatross around our neck” which it could not give away.
The Archdiocese of Glasgow (a diocese of the Roman Catholic Church in Scotland) said the Kilmahew Education Trust would be the new legal owners. The Archdiocese said they bequeathed the estate and buildings free of charge to the trust.
Stuart Cotton of the Kilmahew Education Trust said he was delighted to be the new custodian of “this outstanding and unique heritage asset”.
“We simply need to develop a viable vision, with education at its core, and execute the plans that develop from that to the best of our abilities,” he said.
“We look forward to sharing our initial masterplan in due course and welcoming the public to share our experiences along the way.”
