A 13-meter-tall pencil-shaped monument made of concrete and steel, standing upright on a grassy hill, its "lead" tip pointing towards the sky, surrounded by a scenic view of the Firth of Clyde and the Scottish countryside.
Interesting monument. Great view over water. Lots of seating.
Superb historic monument commemorating The Battle of Largs. Beautiful setting with plenty of seats to view the Clyde estuary, Largs and the nearby isles. There is plenty of free parking a short walk away. Well worth a visit.
A glorious monument to the Battle of Largs in 1263. Great views and nice beaches. Go for a swim if you can handle it My only gripe is that the pencil is to big to actually use for drawing
This is a beautiful place to sit and admire spectacular views of the Clyde Estuary. It's also usually quiet, although beware the drone flyers, which can ruin the solitude. Plenty of places to sit, so you can choose your view!
Perfect place for a lovely long walk into Large and lunch at the Green shutters . Or a short walk to the marina with some shops and lovely upmarket restaurants.. The pencil itself is perfect for a picnic in sit in the sun or shade or go for a refreshing dip. Catch a short trip ferry to the Isle of Cumbre. or 9n the world's last ocean going paddle steamer the Waverley on one of its scheduled trips.
This is a fairly unremarkable piece of masonry. The original design was abandoned due to cost. It is, however, definitely worth a visit. The story is amazing, and the walk there is very pleasant with stunning views.
