A POLICE box in Glasgow will get a new lease of life as a local butter brand takes it over. 

Wee Knob of Butter - formerly called Oui Knob of Butter - is opening The Butter Box in the blue police box near to the entrance of Glasgow Botanic Gardens on Great Western Road. 

The boutique shop will sell their premium artisan butter and will also serve coffee which will be 50% off all weekend. 

The Butter Box officially opens today (July 12) from 9am. 

The box will be open seven days a week from 9am to 4pm. 

It will also sell pastries, gelato, and picnic boxes with a selection of meats, cheeses and dips.

Founded in 2021 by Jules Bal, Wee Knob of Butter – which Jules operates with his business partner, Kieran Woods - is a regular at farmers' markets across the city.

Since its inception, the brand has garnered a devoted following thanks to its commitment to quality, affordability and local craftsmanship.

Jules said: "We are thrilled to open Scotland’s first Butter Box, which marks the next step in Wee Knob’s journey.

"The Butter Box provides a dedicated space for our customers and butter enthusiasts to explore and enjoy our produce, whether that’s in the form of our take-home butter batons or through sampling one of our curated Wee Knob picnic boxes.

"Like Wee Knob, the Butter Box is a bit of fun and all about doing things differently.

"We can’t wait to engage directly with our customers, offering them an opportunity to experience our butter in a truly unique setting – in the beautiful surroundings of the Botanic Gardens."

As well as classic salted butter, the company also sells blends such as garlic and herb, sriracha and thyme and honey and cinnamon. 

Jules also owns Byres Road sandwicherie Le Petit Coq. 

The police box on Great Western Road has previously been home to Mrs Falafel and West End Roasters.
