Largs

Largs is a town on the Firth of Clyde in North Ayrshire in Scotland. It is situated around 33 miles (53 kilometres) from Glasgow. The original name means "the slopes" (An Leargaidh) in Scottish Gaelic. The town markets itself on its historical connections with the Vikings and an annual celebration is held in early September. In accordance with the 2011 Census, the town has a permanent population of around 11241. Largs expanded from the estates of North Cunninghame over which the Montgomeries of Skelmorlie came to be temporal lords in the 17th century. Sir Robert Montgomerie developed Skelmorlie Aisle in the ancient kirk of Largs in 1636 as a family mausoleum. Today, the monument is all that remains of the old kirk. From its roots as a modest village around its kirk, Largs developed into a bustling and popular seaside resort in the 19th century. Sizeable hotels were built and the pier was finished off in 1834. It was not until 1895, nevertheless, that the train made the link to Largs, which cemented the town's appeal. It also became a trendy area to live, and many spectacular estates were built. The most significant of which includes 'Netherhall', the home of William Thomson, Lord Kelvin, the physicist and engineer. Despite its lowered status as a holiday resort, much of Largs is still focused towards tourism. There is the award winning Vikingar Centre at Barrfields, an interactive view into the history of Viking life; Kelburn Country Centre, Barrfields Pavilion Theatre, Largs Swimming Swimming Pool, Douglas Park and Inverclyde National Sports Training Centre. It is best known for 'Nardinis', the acclaimed ice cream parlour, cafe and restaurant, that dominates the Esplanade and which reopened in late 2008.
