A Fascinating walk around ‘The Barras’ Glasgow Antiques Market

Take a walk around The Barras with me. The Barras is an antiques market (plus vintage and traditional market) in the centre of Glasgow. It’s open every Saturday and Sunday and it’s an amazing hunting ground…you never know what you’re going to find
Hello, David Harper here. Welcome to my Antiques & History Channel. I’m looking for interesting people to interview and interesting antiques to sell for you! (Classic cars, full collections, artwork, porcelain, silver etc too)
Of course, I’d need to document the whole process of the selling to make interesting, fun, informative, engaging and entertaining films for my subscribers …that’s what it’s all about!
Here’s my contact details…do get in touch and send me some pictures of the items you’re looking to sell or the collection you’re happy to be interviewed about

I remember the days at the Barras when you struggled to walk through the streets because there was literally hundreds of people and wall to wall stalls selling all sorts of stuff from towels to trainers, tracksuits to dvds cds etc - it’s a shame to see the barebones of the market that’s left

I was just thinking the same thing ...my god changed days eh ...satuarday and Sunday it was a sea of people and you couldn't move ..I remember being there in the 80s with my mam and dad at the butchers counter and you get tons of butcher meat for coppers ...such a shame

I remember as a young boy in the 1960s being in the Barras and seeing an elderly man drinking a purple liquid from a Milk Bottle. It was definitely a glass milk bottle I remember asking my Dad what it was and he told me it was methylated spirits.

Orange trousers? Looks more a bright coral to me, but I'm a female and guys don't always differentiate. 11:40 I've seen old televisions turned into fish tanks and bars, but never a taxidermy diorama. I almost like it, but wouldn't want it in my house.

[@cathrynbyrnes8737]

I think they looked coral too

[@SimonWillcockAntiques]

Where were the antiques?

[@DavidHarperAntiquesTV]

I bought some cracking antiques there!
