RCAHMS made a photographic record of Pittodrie Stadium in September 2011 as part of its Threatened Building Survey. Earlier in the year Aberdeen Football Club had put the grounds up for sale having previously announced its intention to vacate the grounds it had occupied since its formation in 1903 and to build a new, modern stadium on the southern outskirts of the city.
The survey included exterior and interior shots of all four stands, namely the Main stand (to the north), the Richard Donald stand (to the east), the South stand and the Merkland Road stand (to the west). The interior shots were largely taken in the Main and Richard Donald stands, including changing rooms, hospitality areas and a detailed record of the graffiti decoration on the staircases of the Richard Donald stand drawn by a local cartoonist.
