Photographs of the abandoned St Peter's College encourage the viewer to believe that this extraordinary cluster of 1960s buildings is in fact some lost temple, some exotic ziggurat, perhaps, hidden in the depths of a jungle known only to local guides, and legend. In reality, this abandoned Roman Catholic seminary is sited close to Helensburgh, less than an hour by train from Glasgow. The path leading up to the fences that surround it today winds up behind undistinguished suburban houses and a golf course. Not exactly a snake-infested Mayan jungle, yet an exotic setting in its own particular way. Here lurk the great concrete walls, and what survives of the interiors, of a religious building clearly based on the last great works of Le Corbusier: the pilgrimage chapel of Ronchamp near Mulhouse, and the monastery of La Tourette near Lyon.
