The seaside resort town that will catch your attention
Simply charming is what most would describe this seaside town named Largs. Before anyone hops on the ferry to Cumbrae, it is a must to stay a few days and take in all that this homey but ancient town has to offer. Largs is also a great compromise for those wanting to experience a night in the glamping spots near Glasgow. Since the main hub is within walking distance of most homes, it is so easy to pick a place and explore the town on foot.
