Barras


Scotland's largest indoor market
6-Apr Stevenson Street
Glasgow G40 2ST
United Kingdom
+44 141 552 4601
http://www.glasgow-barrowland....
Scotland's largest indoor market is formally called the Barrowland and is made up of nine distinct markets. You can find almost anything here "from an anchor to a needle." It's often raided by the police because some of the stalls sell goods of slightly dubious origin, i.e. they "fell off the back of a lorry". Still, a trip to the Barras is a fun day out, as you can browse for hours through seemingly endless stalls and might even find something you want to buy. On the last Saturday of every month, there's a special Farmers Market where you can find organic meat, fruit, vegetables, bread, cheeses, free range eggs and countless other things. Be warned, however: traders usually sell out around midday so make sure you're early. If you get hungry, there are a few cafes nearby. The more advenurous will appreciate a hot dog or mussels from one of the vans. Admission: free.
