Troon is a compact seaside town on the Ayrshire coast of South Ayrshire in Scotland, sitting on the shores of the Firth of Clyde with long sandy beaches and a working harbour that developed strongly during the Victorian era. The town grew as both a resort and a port, with a railway link encouraging day-trippers and commuters alike, and it still enjoys clear views across the water to the Isle of Arran.
Culturally and economically Troon is best known for golf - Royal Troon Golf Club is a championship course that has hosted The Open - but the local economy mixes tourism, leisure boating, fishing and a commuter population heading for Glasgow and nearby towns. The town retains a relaxed, community-driven feel with promenades, local shops and seasonal events that reflect its seaside heritage.
