Bogyoke Aung San Market (formerly Scott's Market) is a major bazaar located in Pabedan township in downtown Yangon, Myanmar. Known for its colonial architecture and inner cobblestone streets, the market is a major tourist destination, dominated by antique, Burmese handicraft and jewellery shops, art galleries, and clothing stores. Bogyoke Market is a popular black market location to exchange currency. The market also has a number of stores for local shoppers, selling medicine, foodstuffs, garments and foreign goods. Scott's Market was built in 1926, late in the British rule of Myanmar, and was named after James George Scott, the British civil servant who introduced football to Myanmar. After Burmese independence in 1948, it was renamed after Bogyoke (General) Aung San.
