St Peter's Seminary: a talk, a book... any chance of a plan that'll work?

A Future for St Peter's Seminary? SAVING SCOTLAND'S MASTERPIECE OF ...

The Seminary in Cardross designed by Gillespie, Kidd & Coia is widely regarded as one of the most significant modern buildings in Europe. Yet only 45 years after it was opened, the structure stands as a decaying shell, the victim of a policy change by the Catholic church in the 1960s. Four years ago the World Monuments Fund deemed it significant enough to place it on the list of the ‘World’s 100 Most Endangered Sites’ but now there is a glimmer of hope. In this event Angus Farquhar, head of the arts group NVA, discusses his plans for St Peter’s with the architectural historian Edward Hollis and the Glasgow-based architect Gordon Murray. All have contributed to a new book on the seminary, To Have and to Hold.
