St Andrew's College, Drygrange

St Andrew's College, Drygrange, located near Melrose, Scotland, was a Roman Catholic seminary founded in 1953 and closed in 1986.

Founded by Gordon Gray shortly after he became Archbishop of St Andrews and Edinburgh, the college was operated by the archdiocese in a large country house called Drygrange House.

[4] The closure was blamed by then-Archbishop Keith O'Brien, himself a former student of the seminary, on the halving of the number of new Scottish entrants to the priesthood.

[5] The remaining students were transferred to Gillis College, Edinburgh, the new seminary for the archdiocese,[6] and some 2,300 items from the college's library were deposited in the National Library of Scotland.

[7] On another analysis, the new Gillis College was the seminary of St Andrew's, transferred to a new site and renamed.
