Gold Berry Hill From Kilruskin
Goldberry Hill near Largs was the site of one of the large
skirmishes which made up the Battle of Largs. It was here
that a sizable force of Norwegians were put to flight by a troop of
Scots led by Robert Boyd.
Alexander III rewarded Boyd with a grant of land within
Cunningham. Boyd's son (also named Robert) would become a
friend and companion in arms with Sir William Wallace and is
recorded as being the hero's second in command, he was also one of
the principle commanders at the Battle of Bannockburn.
