Largs Pencil - A monument to the Battle of Largs
The monument was built as a marker for the site of the Battle of Largs in 1263.
The battle was won by the Scots and prevented the Vikings from invading the
mainland from the west. Over the next 20 or 30 years they were hounded
out of the western isles as well.
No offence intended to any of our Scandinavian cousins reading these pages.

The monument was built in 1912, but we've no idea why it took them
so long to get round to it.
Nearly 650 years after the event seems a little tardy.
This door is about 8 feet up on the seaward side of the Pencil.
