The Bain Street entrance to the Barras Market in Glasgow. The market, more formerly known as Barrowland, was founded in the 1920s by James and Maggie McIver and has been a Glasgow institution ever since.

I love the shapes on this polychromatic brick former industrial building on Moncur Street in Glasgow, especially the pediments at the top. Designed by M. Forsyth and built in the 1870s, it was originally part of the William Whyte's and Son clay pipe works, which had been based on the neighbouring Gibson Street since 1824.

Conzo and Globel's tribute to the fictitious 1930s Glasgow legend Teddy Tunnocks, the bareknuckle champion and self-styled King of the Barras, who was also the heir apparent to the Tunnock's Teacake Empire. It can be found on the corner of Ross Street and Suffolk Street in the East End of the city.

This is a rather satisfyingly-proportioned former industrial building by the Barras on London Road in Glasgow. Designed by G.S. Hill, it was constructed for Charles Lindsay in 1905 as part of his Rumford Ironmongery works (most of which was situated behind it, and was accessed by the central pend).

The sign above on of the entrances to The Barras, Glasgow's legendary market, where, in its heyday, it was said pretty much anything could be found for sale. It was started in the years after World War One by James and Maggie McIver who rented barrows to local traders in a yard in Marshall Lane. In 1926, the space was covered with a roof to create a more permanent market space.

The Barras, Glasgow.

This place has such character, I love walking around here at the weekend.
