CLIMATE activists have visited the abandoned former St Peter's Seminary in Cardross to "demand concrete action" in tackling the global environmental crisis.
Architects from U-Build UK posed with posters and slogans at the derelict building for Built Environment Day at the COP26 summit in Glasgow.
A post shared on Instagram said: "We're joining with ArchitectsCAN and others to share messages highlighting the impact of construction and buildings and/or what needs to be done.
"We took a trip to St Peter's Seminary: a short journey out of Glasgow. We felt this dramatic, disused hulk of brick, steel and concrete provides a good backdrop for our messages about high embodied carbon materials, in addition to slogans involving the word concrete.
"What message would you send to leaders and the public on this day?"
The Cardross building has fallen into increasing dereliction since its use as a seminary ended in the early 1980s.
The new owners of the Kilmahew estate, which includes the former seminary, told the Advertiser in May of their ambitious plans to achieve UNESCO World Heritage status for the site by 2030.
