On Saturday, the annual Largs Viking Festival kicked off. As we'd never been before, we decided to go along and check out the opening parade.
Vikings in the main street of Largs
Giant Viking at the Viking Village on the seafront
Some beer I picked up from the food tent
(It would have been rude not to)
Me, ready to defend Largs from the Viking hordes
All that defending Largs is tiring. Time for a wee sit down
The fair maiden, rescued from the Vikings.
There were lots of things happening on the sidelines. There was a rubber duck race in the local burn, a drumming group playing, pipe bands, lots of bikers on Harley's, trikes and Goldwings. Then there was the Viking village and the Scots village, the food, drink and crafts stalls, the birds of prey, the list goes on.
It culminates after a week with the burning of a longship. I'd love to be there for that, but we have a ceilidh to go to. Ah well, there's always next year.
