Glasgow

Glasgow (Gaelic: Glaschu) is the largest city in Scotland on Clydeside in the Central Belt. Glasgow reinvented itself from the 1990s, one of the most successful examples in Britain, with a range of developments in industry, culture, cuisine and architecture. It's now a lively destination meriting several days to explore, and with excellent visitor amenities in all price brackets. Its deep-red sandstone buildings have been scrubbed free of grime and the city is glorious in the sunshine, but it's a year-round place with plenty to occupy the dreich days.

    Barras Market

    "Oh ra Barras, oh ra Barras, ye can keep yer Rome or Paris... " goes the song. This market occupies the East End blocks between Gallowgate and London Road at the edge of Glasgow Green. It's an essential tourist experience, but think twice before buying, or any other action that betrays the position of your wallet / purse. However it's well-policed, as mingling in the crowd are officers on the lookout for the counterfeit, stolen, or downright dangerous. There are gems and bargains here, but the ratio of gems to trash is much the same as on the internet: "They've got tickets tae the moon, priced at only half-a-croon..." Nothing to see when it's closed, just a drab array of units with their metal rollers down.

    Sat Sun 10AM-4PM
