It is the biggest event on Largs calendar.There is a torchlight parade to the Broomfields. Where the highlight is the burning of a Viking longboat. It all finishes with a spectacular fireworks display.
We took the train down from Glasgow.Only took about an hour.The train was full of Viking hunters heading to the resort to see the celebrations. We enjoyed a lovely walk along the shore to the Pencil monument. Erected to commemorate the battle of Largs.
The weather was perfect and the the sunset was stunning.
