The Briggait, Category A listed building in Merchant City, Glasgow, Scotland.
The Briggait occupies a central location on Bridgegate and Clyde Street, featuring Victorian industrial architecture with iron framework and arched windows.
Built in 1873 by architects Clarke and Bell, this structure served as Glasgow's primary fish market until the late 1970s before transforming into a shopping center.
The building houses 100 visual artists in dedicated studios, presenting exhibitions and hosting events that contribute to Glasgow's artistic community.
Visitors can explore the converted marketplace during exhibitions, markets, and performances, with the location accessible from central Glasgow transport links.
The incorporated Merchants Steeple from 1659 stands as an independent Category A listed structure, marking centuries of commercial activity at this location.
