Does anyone know where I could buy flowers in Scotland that is open to the public?

I'm looking for some help in locating a flower market that is open to the public. I had heard that there was one in Glasgow somewhere, (off the motorway before going through Glasgow itself) I thought I had found two possibles but they say they are trade only! I don't know anyone who works at a florist either, so can't get them that way. I need enough flowers to do everything apart from my bouquet (so a lot and of course I'm on a budget!), which I am buying. I live in Clackmannanshire, but can travel to Glasgow, Edinburgh, Fife, Dundee etc, but obviously the closer the better.

Any help would be great. Thanks in advance!

Ask the bloke who sells flowers outside the Thistle Centre in Stirling nicely if he'll sell you full boxes at near-wholesale prices for a bulk order, cash paid.

Thanks myboys2, but I've already asked them and they've said no I'm afraid. :mad: I really liked their site as well and was the kind of place I'd like to be in! Have also tried L and H flowers which is nearby. They've suggested someone else, but they don't have a site, so not sure what they'd be like. You'd think any of them would be keen for extra money eh!

Heva04 - I've just set up my membership with them. Do they have a lot flower wise? Someone suggested them on another page for craft things so I thought I'd try. Not been to the store yet - not even sure where it is lol! Will check more tonight.

Owain moneysaver - wouldn't have thought of that! I'm not in that bit of Stirling often, but could always make a trip of course! Do you know when he's usually there? Maybe he might even let me go with him (or meet me there)? I like your thinking!

Any further suggestions would be great - can't have too much choice, but thank you to everyone who has helped so far.

I think he's there on Saturdays, not sure about other days. I think he gets his stuff delivered from Zwetzloot to the stall.

Wear a short skirt ;-)

I'm a bigger girl so short skirt is no use. Now if we tried low cut top we'd have a winning combination there! LOL Well at least my fiance seems to think so!

Thanks again

Perfect! I'm heading over to the market there early tomorrow morning so I might be able to have a look. I have my membership number now and funnily enough have been looking through their website and I think I may have to re-mortgage the house lol!

Thanks
