Hello everyone, my name is Amjad Mohammed, I worked in this place for two years from October 2015 to October 2017. As a security guard, I worked in the evening from 4:30 pm until the next morning at 7:30 am. I live in Glasgow and I used to come to work by train to Cardross station and from there I would continue by bike until I arrived for two years. I used to hear very strange sounds at night after 11 pm and very strange shapes of birds, especially in the winter. I used to see strange shapes, but I would face them.
Makes me think of late sixties architecture with features such as indirect lighting wells, vault floors, acid etched concrete finish influenced by Le Corbusier. Why was it abandoned and why was it not converted, the site is so great?
It was abandoned due to a combination of diminishing uptake of the priesthood, (it never operated at full capacity). Plus various structural issues, it was cold, let in water and difficult to heat. The Scots Baronial mansion house on site, Kilmahew House was demolished after wilful fire raising. It's a real shame, the site is fascinating really.
Took the wife and the wean there today 21/09/24, he loved going to the top, her not so much 😂 back in the hoose and it's on my UA-cam suggested, spooky
