Lismore Seminary was situated in Kilcheran House on the island of Lismore in the Inner Hebrides part of Argyll, Scotland. It served as a seminary for the Roman Catholic Church in Scotland in the 19th century. At the time it was the only seminary in the west of Scotland and for the Vicariate Apostolic of the Highland District.[1] The house still stands and has a lime kiln from the time of the seminary within the grounds. Both the house and the kiln are category B listed sites.[2]
