More information about Largs

Largs, is a bustling coastal town in the North Ayrshire district of Scotland. It sits on the Firth of Clyde, just north of the Isle of Cumbrae, and is best known locally as a popular holiday destination. It's also a town with strong ties to the car industry, finance industry, and motorsport.

The Car Industry and Largs

Largs' connection to the automotive industry comes from the fact that it was where the first cars in Scotland were sold. Back in the late 1800s, a local entrepreneur called Alexander Miller and his business partner, Mr. Miller, decided to open up a dealership called A&M Miller's Carriage Works, where luxury vehicles were available for purchase. While it was initially only families of the upper-class or of importance who were able to afford such purchases, the business grew over the years, and soon enough cars were no longer as financially exclusive as they were before.

Since then, Largs has continued to have a strong presence of car dealerships, which have ranged from family-owned dealerships to large corporate ones. The town is currently home to Andrew Miller Automotive, the modern-day iteration of A&M Miller's Carriage Works, which specialises in selling luxury vehicles such as Beamers and Jaguars. The dealership is owned by the original founder's great-great-grandson and is now a respected leader in the local automotive industry. It is renowned for its quality and service, and its reputation has even seen it being recognised as a preferred dealerships for visitors and locals alike.

Fortress Car Dealership is another big dealership in town, specialising in the sale of used cars. This one in particular is known for its strong customer relations, which show that its customers enjoy the service provided at the dealership. It's recently undergone a complete revamp, including a brand-new showroom that boasts a large list of used cars from all the major manufacturers.

The Finance Industry

The finance industry has ties to Largs too. The town's close nexus with Scotland's coal mining industry meant that the banking profession began to thrive in the area, resulting in the establishment of the Largs Bank of Scotland in the late 1800s. This introduction meant that locals had access to credit and banking services through one single institution, allowing them to invest their money in the local economy and secure interest-bearing investments.

Today, Largs is home to dozens of financial institutions and banks, both major and minor. This includes renowned financial giants such as the Lloyds Bank and Barclays Bank, as well as national banks like the Royal Bank of Scotland and First Direct. This presence of banks, most of which have been open in the town for several generations, makes Largs a desirable destination for anyone seeking financial advice and services.

Additionally, Largs also hosted the British Touring Car Championship in 1998. This was a major event that attracted a lot of attention and saw some exciting racing. It was an important moment in the town's history and helped bring new levels of prominence to the town's name.
