I'm an enthusiast of brutalist buildings across the UK.

There are loads of great examples across Scotland, especially in Glasgow, but one my of favourite buildings is the Netherdale Main Stand, one of the most architecturally significant football structures in the country.

Designed by Peter Womersley and completed in 1964, the Netherdale Main Stand has a Category A listing, the same protection level as Edinburgh Castle. The cantilevered roof, the slender concrete supports, the repeating bays, it holds together in a way that most modern stadiums simply don't.

I've been making small cast concrete models of Scottish Brutalist architecture and recently finished one of the Netherdale stand. Capturing the deep overhang and the silhouette at small scale was genuinely difficult, but worth it.

I was curious to know if anyone here stood under that roof on match day? And what do you think is the most underrated piece of football architecture in Scotland?
