Largs Pencil Monument
The monument, which looks like a gigantic pencil, commemorates the defeat of a Viking fleet in 1263. Though it was not a decisive victory for either side, worsening weather prompted the Norwegians to turn for home, this monument was erected in 1912 to commemorate the Battle of Largs and an annual festival to re-enact the Battle of Largs is held at The Pencil each autumn.(Largs, Scotland)
