Historic Glasgow venue re-opened as cultural centre
BBC News
The Briggait building in Glasgow's Merchant City served as the city's fish market for over a hundred years.
Built in 1873, the building closed in the late 1970s when the fish market moved out of town.
The Briggait re-opened as a shopping complex in the late 1980s but this proved a temporary venture.
Ten years ago WASPS Artists Studios began redeveloping the derelict building transforming the Briggait into a state of the art cultural centre.
