This was a celebration in story, music and dance of the world famous street market and the renowned ballroom which together share the same name ... The Barrowland!

Through the eyes of three generations of Glasgow women, it told of the birth of the market place and its development from a single market stall to a centre of street commerce, a city landmark and the hub of life for the ordinary Glaswegian.

Also recounted the history of the ballroom which began life as a venue for the market traders but soon developed, under resident band Billy McGregor and the Gaybirds, into one of Britain's most famous dance halls and home to generations of the city's revellers.

'Burlin' Roon the Barrowland' took you by 'caur down memory lane where you could stop off for a bacon roll and a sheet of ham ribs at the City Ham and Egg Store, and met again the great characters who frequented the Barras.
