Largs – the original name means “the slopes” in Scottish Gaelic – and was the site of the last Viking battle in Scotland, in 1263. What was also interesting about that time, was that approximately 100 Viking war ships were moored on Loch Long, right in front of my holiday home (you can view pictures of the holiday home here – and just imagine how impressive and scary it must have been back then to have 100 Viking ships so close you could almost touch them… http://luxuriousnomad.com/scotland)
Now, it is a lovely, peaceful area…
Just before lockdown started in Scotland (again), I went for a drive to Kilmartin. I have been here before, but wanted to spend additional time looking at the Templar graves and ancient standing stones in the area. Driving through the lovely village of Arrochar on Loch Long... ...to a diversion…
Out for a drive to see what I could find... and in this case it was not finding a castle that apparently one can get to, but somehow I ended up driving through some fellow's property by mistake (Google said I could! LOL!)... anyway... I did find the Preston Mill…
