It has been closed since at least 2004, and is currently clasified as being in poor condition on the Buildings at Risk Register for Scotland. In June 2014, the Buildings at Risk Register noted, "External inspection finds the building unmaintained and with vegetative and damp penetration set in further. Condition moved to Poor and Risk to Moderate. The site does not appear to currently be under marketing for sale." The mechanical engineer and industrialist Thomas Leith was educated there.
