A derelict former college for priests has been named as Scotland's most important modern building. A team from the architecture magazine Prospect drew up a list of the most significant public and private buildings of the last 60 years. It selected the disused St Peter's College in Cardross, near Helensburgh, hailing it as an inspiration. The Burrell Collection in Glasgow was second on the list and the Scottish Parliament building was fourth. Office blocks, hotels, a youth hostel, the Killoch Colliery in Ayrshire and the Royal Commonwealth Pool in Edinburgh also make it on to the list, along with the Princes Square shopping centre in Glasgow, Spa One in Edinburgh and the Forth Road Bridge. St Peter's college was designed by Glasgow architects Isi Metzstein and Andy MacMillan.
