Scotus College

Scotus College was a seminary in Bearsden, Glasgow. It was founded in 1985 under the name of Chesters College and in 1993 was reconstituted as Scotus College. It was then the only remaining Roman Catholic seminary in Scotland.

In February 1980, the Archdiocese of Glasgow transferred its seminary from St Peter's Seminary, Cardross, because of maintenance difficulties, to the site of a former convent of the Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate Conception in Newlands, Glasgow. It was also the site of the St Mungo centre, an ecumenical organisation. St Peter's College, Newlands remained there for four years, until November 1984 when it was closed and the students transferred to Bearsden. The old convent was renamed Merrylee House and later demolished to make space for a housing development. In 1997, further construction work was carried out on the site when additions and alterations were made to the chapel.
