Offers close on historic St Kessog's

Uncertain future The council has been marketing the Callander church

- CHRIS MARZELLA

Offers to buy an historic former church in the heart of Callander have been closed with a report on the building’s future due in the coming weeks.

St Kessog’s has stood in the town’s Ancaster Square since 1773 but has been unused in recent years after falling into a state of disrepair.

Back in February this year, Stirling Council placed the building on the market.

The council have this week confirmed that the closing date for offers passed last week, but refused to reveal any further details.

A Stirling Council spokesperson said: “We are unable to disclose details of any offers received for St Kessog’s but can confirm that a closing date of June 20 was set as part of the marketing process for the building.

“A report recommending next steps will be considered in the coming weeks based on information provided by the marketing agent.”

The iconic building had been listed by property firm Graham & Sibbald with the agent indicating that “offers are invited for the benefit of our client's heritable interest in the subjects”.
