In 1971, Glasgow Fair Friday fell on July 23. The Glasgow Fair is traditionally observed on the weekend closest to the first Monday in July, leading to this date for that year.
The start date of a fun fair can vary depending on the location and specific event. Typically, many fun fairs are held during the summer months or around holidays. To find the exact start date for a particular fun fair, it's best to check the local event schedule or the official website of the fair.
The first Friday after the second Monday in July.
According to Glasgow City Council's website, Fair Saturday 2009 is 18th July therefore Fair Monday is 20th July. http://www.glasgow.gov.uk/en/YourCouncil/Council_Committees/CouncilDiary/publicgeneralholidays2009.htm
Fair Friday is the Friday after the second Monday in July, ie it's whichever Friday is dated between 12th and 18th, so Fair Saturday is always the Saturday with "teen" in its date.

1) The Glasgow Fair always starts on the 2nd Monday of July. For the 2008 holidays, the Glasgow Fair officially starts on Fair Monday, the14th of July but people here unofficially say it starts on Fair Friday, the 11th of July. 2) The holiday is calculated using this formula to find the Saturday of the holiday week: It follows the first Saturday after the second Monday in July is Glasgow Fair Saturday. This can cause the holiday dates to be as much as a week different each year Glasgow fair , or fair friday, is always the first Friday after the second Monday in July. so this year Fair Monday will be the 21st of July. Fair Friday will therefore be the 18th. If you look on Glasgow City Council site, you will see the dates - Monday 21 July. - - - - - - - - - - The answer - or these 2 answers above - is/are contradictory: the 2nd is correct - Fair Friday is after the 2nd Monday of July: the proof is this year it is Fri 15 Jul 2011.
