St. Peter's Seminary is a disused Roman Catholic seminary near Cardross, Argyll and Bute, Scotland. Designed by the firm of Gillespie, Kidd and Coia, it has been described by the international architecture conservation organisation DOCOMOMO as a modern "building of world significance". It is one of only 42 post-war buildings in Scotland to be listed at Category A, the highest level of protection for a building of "special architectural or historic interest". It has been abandoned since the end of the 1980s, and is currently in a ruinous state. Despite a number of proposals for reuse or renovation of the building, its future remains insecure.

St.Peter’s was originally consecrated in 1818 as a chapel within Simonburn Parish. It has a Grade 2 listing and is the largest of four regency gothic churches designed by H.H.Seward, house architect to Greenwich Hospital Commissioners, who had taken over the former Derwentwater Estates.
St.Peter’s is built of fine tooled ashlar with a small western porch, a small sanctuary and a vestry set centrally on the north side. There are two side aisles, with no central aisle, with some fine Regency box pews at the front of the main body of the church and to the side of the aisles.
St. Peter's is famous as a place of pilgrimage, for its liturgical functions and for its historical associations. It is associated with the papacy, with the Counter-reformation and with numerous artists, most significantly Michelangelo. As a work of architecture, it is regarded as the greatest building of its age. Contrary to popular misconception, Saint Peter's is not a cathedral, as it is not the seat of a bishop. It is properly termed a papal basilica. Like all of the earliest churches in Rome, it has the entrance to the east and the apse at the west end of the building.
St. Peter's Basilica baldacchino is a pavilion-like structure which stands beneath the dome and above the altar.

St Peter's is an enormous church, yet fails to impress in any real way. It is grouped around a central tower with an unusual circular embattled stair turret. It has three Norman doorways. Contents? A Norman font, the rest completely ordinary. Oh, and it has a large number of tomb recesses, all of them now empty.

"St Peter's church was rebuilt during the mid-19th century, but retains its medieval screen, made from Jerusalem olive trees and featuring elaborate carvings, and a font dating back to 1690. Poet Laureate Sir John Betjeman described the church as 'a Tractarian work of art'. The damming of a stream in the 15th Century created the Church Pond."

Clement Heaton (1824-1882).
James Butler (1830-1913).
Robert Turnill Bayne (1837-1915).
Clement Heaton, the son of a Methodist minister in Bradford on Avon, Wiltshire, was in 1851 a glass painter for William Holland of Warwick. He was in London by 1853 and briefly in business alone before going into partnership with James Butler in 1855. Around 1860 the two briefly shared premises with Clayton and Bell, an association of lasting importance, as the third member of the firm, Robert Turnill Bayne, who was also from Warwick and became chief designer in 1862, was an employee of theirs. Heaton pioneered the use of softer colours, but Bayne’s advent brought the firm to widespread attention. Most of their earlier glass was gothic in style, but the firm adapted to later influences, notably that of Dante Gabriel Rossetti. The firm was used widely by Sir Arthur Blomfield, but in later years less of its output was glass for churches. Heaton’s son Clement John joined for a short time, but fell out with his partners. The firm continued until 1953 under descendants of other partners, after which most of its archives were destroyed for lack of interest.

St. Peter Healing St. Agatha in Prison, c.1634-35 Oil on slate with gold paint, backed by slate.
Jacques Stella
French, 1596-1637.
St. Peter, center, tends to the injured St. Agatha, seen at left. According to a 13th-century account, after St. Agatha refused to yield to the sexual overtures of a Sicilian official, he imprisoned her and ordered her breasts to be cut off. Peter, accompanied by an angel, gained entry to her cell and healed her.
Agatha exudes her own spiritual light, since Peter's body does not throw shadows across body, which would be expected given the location of the burning torch. The most dazzling section in this painting is the drapery on the angel, portrayed in a series of liquid strokes of gold paint. This approach animates the fabric and heightens the impression of divine presence. The artist does not simply rely on his brush to define the delicacy of the drapery. He has enhanced and energized the folds by pressing his own fingerprints onto the stone.
