Margaret( Russell ) McIver was born on May 9th 1879.

“Maggie” went on to found the famous Barras in Glasgow..

Maggie was born Margaret Russell in 1879, to Margaret Hutcheson, a french polisher and Alexander Russell, a policeman, in either Bridgeton or Ayrshire sources differ. Maggie Queen of the Barras, had her first taste of business when she looked after a family friend’s fruit barrow in Parkhead. She was just 12 years old at the time.

Maggie met her husband and future business partner James McIver at the local fruit market. The couple ran a small business in the Calton, hiring out horses and carts to local hawkers, mainly women, on a daily basis.

After the first world war, the McIvers started organising Saturday markets on land that would become the present-day Barras market. In 1926, Maggie decided the market should be covered, as she was concerned about the health of the hawkers in bad weather.

When husband James contracted malaria during the war and died, Maggie was left to raise nine children and think of new ways to raise income.

She came up with the idea of opening a ballroom above the market, partly to give the hawkers somewhere to hold their Christmas dance. The Barrowland is now a world-renowned, much-loved and respected music venue, famous for its sprung floor and impressive list of performers.

Maggie asked former Bluebirds bandleader Billy McGregor to form a resident band for the Barrowland and it became Billy McGregor and the Gaybirds, a hit with Glasgow’s dancers throughout the thirties. Foxtrots and waltzes were the order of the day until American servicemen introduced jiving and jitterbugging during the Second World War.

When Maggie died in 1958, astute, caring and creative businesswoman Maggie McIver was a multi-millionaire.

The ballroom was burned down in a massive fire shortly after Maggie’s death, but reopened in 1960, with the famous neon signage erected around 1982.

The world-renowned music venue is still owned by Margaret McIver Ltd and has played host to some of the biggest musicians from across the world from David Bowie to Oasis, I was last there in September 2021 to see the late great Terry Hall and his band The Specials.

Enjoy this morning gay bird porn. They (especially Boo) like to rub off on my hair brushes, and it always feels extra good with some help! I expect that any minute they will try to murder me so that they can take over the house themselves. #birdporn #gaybirds #stlpets #morningvibes #cockatoos #eviltwins #goffinscockatoo https://www.instagram.com/p/B8T3Y9nHQOB/?igshid=2sm6p229qk62
