Glasgow’s legendary weekend flea market, the Barras on Gallowgate, is a fascinating mixture of on-trend openings and working-class Glasgow. Genuine old stalls flogging time-faded glasses, posters and DVDs that you'd struggle to give away are juxtaposed with vintage classics, very earthy traders' pubs and a street scene where fake designer gear is marked down and dodgy characters peddle smuggled cigarettes.
It's an intriguing stroll, as much for the assortment of local characters as for what's on offer. People come here just to wander, and parts of it have a real feel of a nearly vanished Britain of whelk stalls and rag-and-bone merchants. Watch your wallet.
