Description: Photographer George Rankin writes: "Former Shandon House (St. Andrew's School), Shandon, Dunbartonshire Rambling Scots baronial mansion with Jacobethan detailing by Charles Wilson, built for William Jamieson in 1849 to replace an earlier house and set in about 31 acres of grounds overlooking Gare Loch. Now owned by the MOD, the property has lain empty and deteriorating for over a decade, its good quality fittings and plaster work decaying, its setting compromised by the depressing remains of derelict structures associated with its last use as a "list D" remand home. The MOD's plans to use the building and its grounds did not materialise and they are now keen to dispose of it (offers invited)."
