Largs' most famous monument is The Pencil, situated at the south end of the Prom, near to Largs Marina. The Pencil was built in 1912, to commemorate the Battle of Largs 1263, when the Scots defeated King Haco of Norway's troops on the shore at Largs, after the 160 long ships got caught in a storm.

I've been wanting to visit Monument Valley since my first trip to the States in 1997, so I was happy that we were able to plan it into this trip. A truly beautiful place to visit. 21/09/2019.
July 4th, 2006 - wandering the Southwest, looking for photo opportunities, with Jeff Hay.
Monument Valley from my first (and so far only) roll of Velvia with the X-Pan. The saturation is over the top, but this is really close to what the slide looks like on a light box.

The Playfair Monument honours Scottish scientist John Playfair. It is one of the less photographed of Calton Hill's monuments. It was designed by the Scientist's nephew, a prominent city architect who also designed the adjacent observatory. It was constructed in 1825. Edinburgh, Lothian, UK.
Een rechthoekige plaat van cortenstaal op een platform van cortenstaal met daarop in het midden een witte plaquette. Uit het staal zijn onder andere kruizen gestanst. Daarnaast is er ook een tekst uitgespaard.
In 2013 is het originele monument uit 1960 vervangen. De reden hiervoor was onder andere het verbeteren van de gegevens op het monument. Twee mensen stonden namelijk onterecht vermeld. Ook ontbraken er negen namen.
Het origineel was vervaardigd uit witte natuursteen. Op de zuil was een rechthoekige gedenkplaat bevestigd. Aan de onderkant bevond zich een zwarte plaquette.
A rectangular plate of corten steel on a corten steel platform with a white plaque in the middle. Crosses have been punched out of the steel. In addition, a text has been cut out.
In 2013, the original monument from 1960 was replaced. The reason for this was, among other things, to improve the data on the monument. Two people were incorrectly listed. Nine names were also missing.
The original was made of white natural stone. A rectangular memorial plaque was attached to the column. A black plaque was located at the bottom.

Got back from my travels with some fresh content, this was a long drive to get to, but I think it was worth it.
The Centennial Land Run Monument commemorates the opening of the Unassigned Land in Oklahoma Territory with the Land Run of 1889. The frenzied energy and emotion from one instant during the run is captured in bronze by artist Paul Moore. It is one of the world’s largest bronze sculptures featuring 45 heroic figures of land run participants, frozen in motion as they race to claim new homesteads. Located at the south end of the Bricktown Canal.
Early morning light, 10 min after sunrise, deep in to Monument Valley, far away from the regular tourist roads.
