The Troon ward sits on the Ayrshire coast in South Ayrshire, looking out over the Firth of Clyde. It combines a busy harbour and marina with stretches of seafront and promenades, reflecting its dual character as a working port and a long-established seaside town; the nearby Royal Troon golf links is one of the town’s best-known attractions, having hosted The Open and drawing golfers and visitors from further afield.

The ward shows a range of housing and social backgrounds, and has seen periods of regeneration in its waterfront and town-centre areas aimed at boosting retail and leisure provision while retaining its maritime and sporting heritage.
