Old Photograph Pier Largs Scotland

Old photograph of people on the pier at Largs in Ayrshire, Scotland. The pier was constructed in 1834. Largs was originally a centre for handloom weaving and fishing with over 50 boats. It grew as a seaside resort with visitors arriving by steamboat prior to the railway being extended from Fairlie in 1885. In fact the first summer visitors to Largs were the Reids who in 1782 traveled from Glasgow by various means including farm carts taking 2 days to arrive.
