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?

It's the Catholic Church! They have more money than God.

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