Tried to get tickets for Hinterland last weekend but it was sold out, the last two days of a run that marked the start of Scotland's Festival Of Architecture 2016. The show was hailed a huge success with lots of great reviews, hence the rush on tickets.
Hinterland was taking place at the abandoned St Peter's Seminary in Cardross, a disused Roman Catholic seminary near Cardross, Argyll & Bute in Scotland. Designed by the firm of Gillespie, Kidd & Coia, it has been described by the international architecture conservation organisation DOCOMOMO as a modern "building of world significance"

I popped up to Cardross at 6am (my gran lives nearby) & had a wander around the site, or at least what was accessible.
Got in via this bridge...
St Peter's Seminary is due for refurbishment and a rebuild, hopefully starting later this year...
**BONUS GLASGOW BRUTALIST PHOTOS**
Later in the day I went up to Glasgow to spot a few more Modernist / Brutalist architecture examples...
