It's almost 50 years since I been to Largs and saw a basking shark. Ayrshire often gets overlooked when people think of Scotland but it's got some of the most beautiful places
The building at 2:38 I spent a lot of Friday nights and Sunday afternoons in. It's mentioned elsewhere as being called the South Bay Hotel. My miss-spent was early eighties when it was called the Picketlaw Hotel. Prior to that it was called the Sherwood Hotel. We'd clear the place out on Friday nights with our appalling choice of music on the jukebox.
One of the few towns like Prestwick down the coast to keep its character by keeping it's small shops and long promenade. Sadly like Prestwick it has lost some hotels on the seafront. They both have Wetherspoons and fish n chip shops!
By the early to mid 80s, most of the hotels had lost all their business because of the foreign holiday market. Some of the smaller ones survived, due to day trippers and the like. The Castle, Queens, Marine & Curlinghall were demolished, and others like the South Bay and Elderslie were converted into flats.
First building on the left was was once called the south bay hotel it was the place to be in the day once it shut it was bought buy a local man B.c then we spent about 5/6 months redoing it so I spent next 6 months rewiring the hole building the joys!!! I rember being in the basement around Feb it was around 5pm every one Had gone home & I got that unbelievable feeling of a building being haunted gave me the hee bee geebeeeys I was the only one in the building yeah creepy!!!!! 😮
I loved hanging out and playing pool with friends in the back bar of the South Bay Hotel, when I was a teenager in the '90s. It was a great place for a quiet drink in the summer. I remember being gutted when it closed down.
