Certainly a station I've come to know well over the past few years, especially recently…read more Officially opened in 1885, it had more platforms in those days, plus a large canopy and footbridge between platforms. It's managed by First Scot Rail, on the Ayrshire Coast Line and there are hourly services to Glasgow Central (taking about one hour). There's a waiting room, ticket office, a tourist information booth, a car park at one side and a taxi rank. Found practically in the town centre so very handy and easy to reach if you're in Largs on foot.

Also known as Largs Esplanade, this is a great place to walk on a pleasant day! I can't count the…read morenumber of times I've strolled along here from when I used to come down from Greenock at the weekend when I was a small child to very recently when my husband and I moved back to the area, walking along here several times a week (in all weathers)!! There are beautiful views all the way along, whether you look across the lovely waters of the Firth of Clyde to the island of Cumbrae and beyond, or back towards the town with its imposing tall red sandstone churches, the famous 'Art Deco' Nardini Cafe and Restaurant, or the attractive black and white Cal-Mac ferries moored at the pier. There are many benches where you can sit on a nice day, with flower beds behind. In the summer months, you'll find lots of seaside entertainment for children, including candy-floss stalls, bouncy castles, merry-go-rounds and the like. The promenade was damaged in last winter's storms but, when I was there a few days ago, I noticed that most of the length has been repaired and it's almost restored to its former glory. It's within easy walking distance of the railway station and bus stops. There's also a large car park right beside The Promenade which costs £2 all day.

We customized a short tour with him, while…read moretraveling from Scotland to northern England, to include Lindesfarne (where the vikings sacked the abbey) Chillingham Castle and wild cattle tour, and Hadrian's wall. It worked out great, he recommended wonderful hotels and did the research, so all we had to do, was sit back and enjoy. He is so knowledgeable and humorous, we enjoyed our time with him, very much. He also played the bagpipes, and we got to sample "a wee dram" or two! Highly recommend!

Graeme is the perfect tour guide! He has stories for you, history knowledge, jokes...everything a…read moregreat tour guide should be! We felt instantly comfortable traveling with him and we will not hesitate to come back to Bonnie Scotland and do another tour with him. It was just perfect!
