3 of the best Scottish markets to visit this weekend

Bowhouse 

A sprawling indoor market awaits you at Bowhouse in the East Neuk of Fife. Fresh produce straight from the estate’s market garden is on offer alongside indie-brewed Futtle beer and meat from the onsite butchery. Producers from across the area gather to show off their plump strawberries, blackcurrants and leafy cabbages. Plus, there are plenty delights to sample from the artisan bakers and street-food stalls while live music jingles away.

Bowhouse, Balcaskie Estate, St Monans, second weekend of every month.

The Barras

Vintage Tamagotchis, handmade crystal jewellery and slogan t-shirts galore: is there anything The Barras doesn’t have? Take a turn down Sustainable Fashion Row for all your vintage-clothing desires or hit one of the myriad street-food stalls for dirty hot dogs and noodles slathered in sauce. This vast indoor space hums with patter and chat, sometimes to the backdrop of an impromptu live piano rendition.

The Barras, Gallowgate, Glasgow, weekends.

Stockbridge Market 

Fresh fruit and vegetables from farms across East Lothian and the Borders are bountiful within the stalls at Stockbridge Market. And there’s always an intriguing selection of street food such as fresh, handmade arrabbiata from The Artisan Pasta Maker or piping hot tubs of rice and seafood from Lovely Paella. Wandering the craft stalls is a delightful way to spend a Sunday.
