Glasgow's Hidden Treasure
The Old Fruit market is situated right in the middle of the city of Glasgow in the vivid Merchant City. Being broadly known for offering a mixture of historical beauty and modern charm, an old fruit market allows the majority of people to combine old times with new treasured qualities. The Old Fruit market is a really alluring place, formerly a populous trading place for folks dealing in fresh fruit. At present, this fruit market has long been thankfully transformed, keeping much of its identifiably different character but given a new means of life as one of the best the city has to tender for concerts, events, and private functions.
A Rich History
The Old Fruit market dates from the late 19th century when Glasgow was at its industrial zenith.
