The house on the left was originally known as Ledcameroch West when built (probably about 1873). It was renamed Chesters in 1880 when it came under new ownership. It was gifted to the Royal College of Science and Technology in 1952 and became a residential management college. It was purchased by the Roman Catholic Diocese in 1984 and became Chesters College, later Scotus College, the National Seminary for Scotland in 1993. Scotus College Chapel was built adjacent to the house (See Canmore https://canmore.org.uk/site/297159/bearsden-chesters-road-scotus-college-chapel. The college closed in 2009, due to the very low number of students studying for the preisthood. In 2013 the chapel and other buildings were demolished and the site converted into housing. The house is Category C listed http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/LB50878.
