From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bogyoke Aung San Market (Burmese: ဗိုလ္ခ်ဳပ္ေအာင္ဆန္းေစ်း), commonly known as Scott Market(Burmese: စေကာ့ေစ်း), 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 (General) Aung San, but most locals continue to use the original name.
