Sweet little village with the oldest licensed pub in Scotland

Nice to look at from a distance, but rather a sad sight up close

Lovely riverside path to make fairly quick progress between Balloch on Glasgow.

Delightful ride up the east shore of Loch Fyne, passing the impressive new aircraft carrier terminal

Magnus the Viking was gifted to the people of Largs by North Ayrshire Council in 2013 to commemorate the 750th anniversary of the historic Battle of Largs. The Vikings were defeated in the Battle of Largs in 1263, their last raid on Scottish soil. Under the Treaty of Perth, Magnus King of Norway surrendered the Western Isles and the Isle of Man to the Scottish Crown in 1266. (information taken from the sign nearby the statue)

A small, pretty castle in the park. The building cannot be visited from the inside, but is very photogenic from the outside.

Lovely smooth tar through military firing range which eventually turns to gravel.

Many think that this statue of sacred joy was erected to commemorate a wee boy who drowned in the loch. That is actually a myth. Wee Peter was created by local stonemason William Kerr in 1890. He made it for someone’s garden but they didn’t like it and he placed it where it stands today.
