St Peter's Seminary in Scotland is a remnant of a previous age. Built almost in homage to Le Corbusier it was intended to be the training ground for priests of nuns of the future. Yet its opening coincided with a decline in the number of young people wishing to enter the Catholic Church and it never trained the full intended complement.
Abandoned by the church in the eighties it had a brief spell as a drug rehabilitation center and was then left to nature. One of the most important buildings built in Scotland in the last fifty years, no one seems to know quite what to do with it.
