The above information has been recd [received] from those quoted as authorities The chief Scene of this battle is Said to be (by the same) where the Standing Stone Stands in the garden of Curling Hall
OS1/3/42/127 [Page] 127 [Note] "Largs, noted for the engagement which took place in its neighbourhood in 1263, between the Scottish Army, and that of Haco King of Norway, in which the latter was defeated with prodigious Slaughter. The Battle of Largs which has been celebrated in the popular ballad of HardiKnute, and which was certainly one of the most brilliant victories ever achieved by the Scottish Arms, took place on a large plain upon the Sea Shore, to the south of the village, where there existed before the improvements of the ground, several vast heaps of stones, covering or commemorating the slain, and a tall Massive Stone (see Standing Stone, and site of Cairns & tumulus) supposed to mark the grave of a Danish Chief. Haco was so dejected by his Misfortune, that he did not return immediately to his Country, but went to Orkney and died of grief." Chambers Pictures of Scotland Vol1 Page 115 See next page
OS1/3/42/128 [page] 128 [note] Battle of Largs continued - "The chief scene of the contest is supposed to have been a large plain southward of the village of Largs, still presenting a recumbent stone 10 feet long, which once stood upright, and is believed to have been placed over the grave of a chieftain; and vestiges of Cairns and tumuli formed, as is said over pits into which the bodies of the Slain were thrown." Full [Fullarton's] Gazetteer "An ingenious paper was drawn up on the subject of this battle and its localities, by the late John Dillon Esq a man of high talent for research. He shows with plausibility that the landing of the Norwegians must have taken place between the South end of Brisbane Crescent and Fairlie Burn, and that the conflict took place immediately below Haylie." New Stat Acct [New Statistical Account]. [marginal note - Brisbane Place as is now called] The Battle of the Largs was fought with great bravery on both sides, and victory was doubtful, till by a violent assault , given by Alexander the high Steward, both on the front and flank of the Norwegians, they were broken, and put into such confusion, that a rout immediately followed. The Smallest number computed to have been killed of the Norwegians is 16000, and of the Scots 5000; which was the last carnage occasioned by the Norwegian or Danish invasions in Britain." Maitland's Hist [History] of Scotland Vol [Volume] 1 P. [Page] 392 "When morning broke (2nd October 1263) Haco came on shore with a large reinforcement, and ordered the transports to be lightened and towed to the ships. Soon after the Scottish army appeared at a distance, upon the high ground above the village of Largs, The cavalry and footmen were led by the King in person, along with Alexander the High Steward of Scotland And the Norwegians, commanded by 3 principal leaders.

Acct. [New Statistical Account] Old Stat. Acct. [Old Statistical Account] Full. [Fullarton's] Gazeteer 003 This eminence or Law is almost entirely removed and the ground Cultivated. All that now remains is situated in a field adjoining Haylee House, and consists of four large rough stones set on edge and another flat stone laid over them as a cover. Mr Boyd Sen [Senior] says they were near the centre of what was called "Margaret's Law" and were allowed to remain as they were found. The skulls mentioned in the Stat Acct [Statistical Account] were found in the enclosure formed by these stones and immediatly round about them. It is not well known in the neighbourhood by the name of "Margaret's Law". Only some very old people have a faint recolection of its being applied to this place. It is usually called the "Tomb" or Tomb Park. Margarets Law was a tumulus supposed by the inahbitants of the neighbourhood to have been erected over the bodies of those who fell in the Battle but the origin of the name is unknown. At the back of the Mansion house of Haylee, there are the Remains of a tumulus, which was doubtless erected over the bodies of those who fell at the Battle of Largs. It is called Margaret's Law but this was probably the corruption of some other name" New Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account]
