Located in Largs, north Ayrshire. Built for the Bridgend Picture House Company in 1938, and sold to George Palmer in 1946. Remained an independent cinema with 1,292 seats and a café. The exterior was a flamboyant homage to the Battle of Largs. It features a portcullis over the entrance and the prow of a Viking ship projecting forwards towards the street.
The Viking Cinema closed on the 4th August 1973 and subsequently became a bottling plant and distribution centre. This landmark was later demolished.
