The Largs Museum is run by volunteers from the Largs Historical Society. Since 1975 it has 
been housed in one of the oldest building in Largs.

 In 1967 Alex Simpson acquired two weavers cottages in Manse Court to house his growing 
collection of photographs and books on Largs and local artefacts, including areas of interest on, 
Sir Thomas Brisbane, The Vikings, Lord Kelvin and HMS Largs.

 In 1975 the adjoining Kirkgate House was incorporated into the building we have today.
The premises were gifted by Mr A Simpson.
