Largs is situated on the Firth of Clyde in the South West of Scotland, with stunning views of the Isle of Cumbrae.

Largs entered the history books in 1263 when Viking invaders were overthrown by the Scots in the Battle of Largs - an event commemorated in the Viking Festival which takes place every September in the town.
