@8:32 the picture over his shoulder of the woman in the headscarf working the til at the fish mongers is my granny! I love that picture and love how often it crops up when folk talk about the Barras.
My first place got our first bedding at the age of 17yrs of age ,i haggled as we didnt have a lot of money and had a great time walking round barras as it was our first time at barras and came a lot after and haggled lol back in the day 🎉😊
Remember the candy floss machine. Pity Glasgow District Council don't have the same love for the Barras or the other old Glasgow institution Paddy's Market, gone but never forgotten.
People where friendly and helpful and barras was always packed .I bought hat for my youngest daughter that where hand madeby lady .good times ,great memories 😊❤
That was nice to watch. I am in my mid fifties and I have so many fond memories of the barrowland's. Always would come back home with several items and a feel good factor. It was all a different feeling back in the seventies, young innocent and a great day out. Loved krazy house, and then something to eat and then a day at the movies. Nothing but lovely memories. 🏴
The good old Glesga Barrras... they where brilliant days. My brother had stall there for about 10 year.... bring it back was great times. Christmas Eve at the Barras absolutely brilliant the atmosphere was amazing... getting all the bargains all the Christmas music on put the spirit into you... they a good old chips n curry sauce. Magic. 👍
We visited the muscle bar many years ago welks as well,pick them oot we a pin 📌 bags of them, and a day spent walking around the barras going home with our bargains 😂 memories wouldn't change them
Happy 100th anniversary to everyone at the Barras, for the Barras are better! What is magic about the Barras??...well it's not just the stalls but also that of the good people of Glasgow and further afield but let's just say that the Barras wouldn't be entirely complete without the banter! As for myself I must have been only 3 years of age back in (1983-1984) going to the Barras with my wee late Granny from Kirkintilloch and I've been going to the Barras ever since more or less! I particularly always remember the really older chap at the biscuit stall (James) that could potentially put Tunnocks to shame handing out freebies for just us! Hey they wir tha day's especially thoughout the rave scene picking up the Old skool pirate rave collection mix-tapes from RHYTHMIC GENERATOR & PULSE feat QFX! Long live the Barras I say!
Although I live in Cambridge I have a wall clock hanging in the front room bought by my grandad from there in the 1940s he was a minor. As long as I’m alive that will be hanging in that front room.
My memory of the barras was the wee stall where you could swap porno mags, Fiesta, Rustler, Big Ones. In the days before the internet it was a goldmine for a young lad.
I remember being taken to the Barry’s by my Mum and Dad in the 80s. We used to go on a Saturday and Xmas Eve. In the 90s when I was a teenager we would all go down to get the fake perfume that would have you put in a rash. I hope they revive it but don’t make it all Trendy and poncy like they’ve done with the Savoy centre with all the arty fatty shite.
I remember as a young boy in the late 60s and seeing a Man drinking a purple liquid from a milk bottle ( around the Barras Area ) and asking my Dad what it was…. Methylated Spirt he replied….. funny but sad I suppose but it’s a true story.
Haven't seen the fella from nine minutes in since he started hanging out with all the Virginia Galleries crowd in the mid-nineties and scared all the posh kids away.
Let’s keep it going for another 100 years so long as we keep the Philistines in Glasgow’s Planning Dept. away from it. There is as many there as you find in the Old Testament.

Paddy's market, the barras, the Savoy centre. Used to be full of characters. Sad to see it these days. Remember the days you couldn't move.
