Cumbernauld Town Centre has been put forward for listing! You can read the case here. I suspect there's more to say in addition, but it's great that it will now be properly considered by @HistEnvScot.

This is Brutalism, right? Maybe I’m just old and wrong but it doesn’t seem to get much traction. Why not?

[Laura Webster @LauraEWebsterr]

I'm looking for someone who like brutalist architecture and wants to write a defence of Cumbernauld town centre ....please help me in my search!

The roof at the Gala Fairydean Rovers stand is free. It’s not looked like this since the 80’s. #peterwomersley #galafairydeanrovers
