[2] St Peter's College, Newlands remained there for four years, until November 1984 when it was closed and the students transferred to Bearsden.
With the closure of Blairs College in 1986, it was to train men for the priesthood from all of the Scottish dioceses, except the Archdiocese of St Andrews and Edinburgh.
On 4 October 1993 it reopened as a seminary, or training college for the priesthood for all the dioceses,[4] under the patronage of the Blessed John Duns Scotus, a philosopher-theologian of the High Middle Ages.
[10] In November 2002, a provisional decision was made to close the seminary by the Bishops' Conference of Scotland, but this was reversed shortly afterwards.
[11] In April 2009, it was announced that the college, the last Roman Catholic seminary in Scotland, would close because of a lack of students studying for the priesthood.
