Magnus the Viking, Largs
I took a trip to Largs yesterday - it was a beautiful day.
This large Viking sculpture is new and was put in place last
year to commemorate the 750th anniversary of the Battle of Largs which took
place here in 1263 between the Scots and the Vikings. Largs hosts a Viking Festival every year -
you can read all about it here.
Made of galvanized steel by David Ogilvie Engineering of
Kilmarnock, the sculpture is 16 feet (5 metres) tall. He's called Magnus and can be found right
across the street from the famous Nardini Cafe.
Love, Liz
