I trip down to Largs this afternoon to see the Viking Festival.
The festival is a nine day celebration of the Viking heritage of Largs, including the Battle of Largs of 1263.
Well worth the effort and everyone seemed to be having a good time. I need to be better organised next year and take in more of the activities throughout the week.
The Viking Village and 'skirmish' is courtesy of the 'Swords of Dalriada' and visitors can witness how the Vikings lived.
I've not seen Largs so busy for a long time - it's such a pity the main car park was closed and made parking even more difficult than usual.
