A massive 11,200-tonne section of an aircraft carrier built on the Clyde, passed by Largs, as it headed around the coast of Scotland to Rosyth for her final assembly.

The section ‘Lower Block 04’ is the largest part of the aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales, measuring 20 metres high, 80 metres long - a fifth of the overall vessel.

It was just beginning its journey on Monday, and takes around five days to reach Rosyth in Fife, travelling around the north of Scotland.

Greg Beecroft provided the picture of the impressive structure off Largs, seen from Toward Point. It was being towed on a barge from Govan.

The swell summer weather over the weekend resulted in some hi-jinks along the shore, with Magnus the Viking monument acquiring some new headwear!

Jane Nicolson said: “We passed on Saturday and my son Magnus Church, age 3, (the original Magnus, I hasten to add - he arrived before the statue did) looked a bit like a confused NAC foreman in his hi-vis vest, wondering how that got up there.

“Thought you might like it...I’m sure there’s a caption to be had somewhere in there about traffic management in Largs!” We were thinking more that Magnus had acquired a cone, but not of the ice cream variety. However, we shall move on...!

Spectacular sunsets have been conspicious by their absence, but amateur photographers were out on Monday evening to capture some scenic shots.

Jack Boyle said that surely the bus stop in Greenock Road, Largs, has to be one of the best in the world after such an impressive offering!

And Calum Corral was cycling back to Fairlie when he captured the glowing yellow, orange and blue hues of dusk at the Pencil shore.
