Mausoleum, remains of a church, and site of a hospital for 'infirm brethren' founded between 1172 and 1179 and dedicated to St Peter. Now within St Peter's Cemetery. There is a reference to sisters living here in 1266. The hospital appears to have been suppressed in 1427 but the sick were still being cared for here in 1541. St Peter's Chapel was associated with the hospital, and after 1427 it continued in use as a place of worship until the Reformation, becoming the parish church. No remains of the hospital are evident, but the outline of the church is visible, standing on a knoll in the highest part of the modern cemetery. as a turf-covered wall standing up to 0.5m high, although part of the North wall is buried. A mausoleum has been built over the eastern side and the interior is occupied by 19th and 20th Century graves. The Moir of Scotstoun Mausoleum dates from circa 1840 in its present form, incorporating parts of the chapel, and is in Neo-Greek style, rubble built and stuccoed.
