Taken at Vikingar in Largs Scotland. This Viking experience is not a museum so people can touch and interact with the display while being told about the way of life by someone dressed as a Viking. It’s a beautiful little experience that is worth a visit! Created by local historians and it talks about a great battle that happened in Largs.
