LARGS by hevbell
Largs, in the north of Ayrshire [take the A78 from Ayr], is a popular seaside town, great for daytrips. Its famous for the Nardini's Italian ice cream [shop is located right next to the ferry terminal] which is delicious!! There is a beach with all the usual amusements, restaurants and some interesting shops. Its also the ferry terminal for the island of Grand CumbraeI like to park at the marina, on the edge of the town, and walk into the centre along the shore, passed "the Pencil" [big needle like structure in the photo], get some ice cream and stroll back.
On my last visit I also discovered a viewpoint up in the hills above the town [it was signposted from the main road]. It wasn't the best day, weather wise, but even then the views over the town and islands was worth a look. Would be great on a clear sunny day!
