Annotation below painting reads 'Sketched from nature 8th August 1836.'
Largs is a small coastal town situated on the Firth of Clyde in North Ayrshire. This painting dates from 1818 at which point Largs was still a small village. During the nineteenth century Largs was to grow in size with the building of a pier in 1834 and the opening of a rail connection in 1885.
