A new food market, dubbed 'Scotland’s answer to Borough Market' will launch in Glasgow’s city centre later this month.
Food and Makers Market will open in Platform at Argyle Street Arches on Sunday March 31, with fresh fruit and veg stalls, as well as local rare breed meets.
Set to open on Mother's Day, the market will offer traditional, Scottish produce with a contemporary twist.
Platform, near Glasgow Central Station, currently welcomes more than 3,000 visitors every weekend.
The project will be spearheaded by Jim Fairlie, who opened Scotland’s first farmer’s market in Perth 20 years ago.
A spokesperson for Platform at Argyle Street Arches said: "We are thrilled to launch what we hope to be Scotland’s answer to London’s Borough Market right here in the city centre of Glasgow and build on the already successful Street Food Market, adding another dimension to the experience when you come in to Argyle Street Arches.
“All of our traders have been picked for their passion and creativity using fresh, seasonal and responsibly sourced products and there really is nothing else like it across Scotland.
"We are really keen to connect the people of Glasgow with farmers, food producers and independent makers to provide a shopping experience that is unique to anywhere else in the country."
