'Town of the Cairn') is a district in the Scottish city of Glasgow, situated north of the River Clyde.

It operates 24 hours a day and handles over two million tons of produce per year; it is used by caterers and food processors throughout central and western Scotland and also in Northern Ireland and Northern England.

[citation needed] The Fruit Market was previously located near Glasgow Cross.

When it was relocated, the housing in the area, which was prefabricated and contained asbestos, was removed.

[citation needed] The local pub, the Blochairn Bar, known as 'The Budgie', in 1978 was the first pub in Scotland to be granted extended licensing hours, from 8am to 11pm, to serve the market shift workers.
