Shopping
Boasting the UK's largest retail phalanx outside London, Glasgow is a shop-aholic's para-
dise. The 'Style Mile' around Buchanan St, Argyle St and Merchant City (particularly up-
market Ingram St) is a fashion hub, while the West End has quirkier, more bohemian
shopping options: Byres Rd is great for vintage clothing.

btwn Gallowgate & London Rd; 10am-5pm Sat & Sun)
Glasgow's
flea market, the Barras on Gallowgate, is the living, breathing heart of this city in many
respects. It has almost a thousand stalls and people come here just for a wander as much
as for their shopping, which gives the place a holiday air. The Barras is notorious for
selling designer frauds, so be cautious. Watch your wallet, too.
