Like any town in the west of Scotland it is important to exercise caution at night and in certain pubs. The town centre is generally quite safe and there is usually a police presence. Tourists should be careful as to which pubs they choose to go to at the weekend as some may be the scenes of the occassional fight, however these pubs are quite recognisable.The Fiddlers may also play host to the occassional fight as 'neds' tend to come from neighbouring towns to pick fights with Largs locals.During the Viking Festival at weekends there is always fighting and tourists should be careful. Although there is usually a large police presence there are a few individuals that only come to the festival to cause trouble.
