When architecture goes wrong: Modernist ruin is an 'albatross around our neck' says church. Includes pictures of the monstrosity of the Roman Catholic St Peter's Seminary in Cardross, near Dumbarton. I don't understand why some studio hasn't picked it up as a backdrop for death metal band videos, or dystopian movies...

Why can't they demolish it? Did someone designate it historic or something?

They're probably fucked by this:
Its importance was recognised in 1992 when the seminary was Category A listed by Historic Scotland.
