Bogyoke Market

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bogyoke Aung San Market (Burmese: ဗုိလ္‌ခ္ယုပ္‌အောင္‌ဆန္‌းဈေး), commonly known as Scott Market, is a major bazaar located in Yangon, Myanmar. It was built by the British in 1926, and is known for its colonial architecture and inner cobblestone streets. It was originally named after James George Scott, a British civil servant most noted for bringing soccer to Myanmar. It was renamed after Bogyoke (that is, General) Aung San, but most locals continue to use the original name.
