The market is centrally located in the newly refurbished pedestrianised County Square, right beside the main Gilmour Street train station. This station incidentally acts as the link station for the main Glasgow International airport. Throughout the year up to 30 producers bring their amazing array of produce adding colour and vibrancy to this busy attractive square. As a community market, it has won recognition from the BBC Good Food Magazine as among the best in the UK. Produce on offer include; Aberdeen Angus beef, Ayrshire hill lamb, Limousin steaks, wonderful pies, game in season, dry cured bacon, chicken, wet fish or unique west coast seafood, organic and other fresh vegetables, Ayrshire potatoes, home baking and free range eggs and chicken stalls. A leisurely walk round the market provides many opportunities to taste produce and discuss the characteristics and uniqueness of each offering. Seasonal specialities include; amazingly flavoursome tomatoes of several varieties; Scottish, UK award winning, cheeses from just 9 miles away, chutneys and warming soup, hand made confectionery, and farmhouse produced ice-cream, olive-based appetizers and snacks, flavoursome vegetarian and gluten free produce, Hebridean whisky liqueurs, local award winning beers from a nearby micro brewery and healthy raspberry and blueberry drinks. To complete the family purchases, natural hand made soaps are on offer, as well as a wide range of locally grown plants, which add more than a splash of colour to the scene.
