A historic 19th century landmark in the east end of Glasgow is to be transformed into residential accommodation.
The original Glasgow Meat Market will be transformed into hundreds of affordable accommodation, as well a commercial space.
Home Group in Scotland will be working in partnership with the City Council to deliver the 240 affordable homes as well as a hotel and commercial space by 2024.
The Glasgow Meat Market was established in 1879 and initially housed an inn, sheds and accommodation for sheep, bullocks and other livestock. The Meat Market was one of the last remaining markets in the country and closed in the 1980s.
Councillor Kenny McLean city convenor for neighbourhoods, housing and public realm welcomed the decision and said it would help with the regeneration in the city's east end.
He said: “These 252 new homes will bring new life to part of Glasgow’s historic meat market, a further sign of the development taking place in this part of the city.”
