Troon

Troon is a small seaside town 31 miles from Glasgow, in the South West (Scotland)|South West region of Scotland. It's one of the closest beach resorts to the Glasgow conurbation, so on fine summer weekends it draws crowds, and another major attraction is golf, especially the Royal Troon Golf Club which often hosts the Open. Troon is also a major centre for yachting, and Dundonald Castle stands nearby. Troon is also a transport hub and base for adventuring the rest of Ayrshire, including the Clyde islands as it’s close to the ferry ports of Ardrossan (for Isle of Arran |Arran) and Largs (for Cumbrae).

From Glasgow and east / central Scotland follow M/A77 to Hurlford roundabout just outside Kilmarnock and then follow A71 and A759 into Troon. Frequent Stagecoach buses from Glasgow, but usually involving a change and taking 90 mins: the X77 changing at Prestwick for the 14 and the X76 changing at Kilmarnock for the 10, or the X44 changing at Irvine for the 14.

From England head for Carlisle and then A75 to Dumfries, A76 to Hurlford roundabout then as above. Reaching Troon from England by public transport will mean going via Glasgow. From Ireland, take the Belfast-Glasgow bus and change at Ayr for the 14 local bus.

• Dundonald Castle - Dundonald KA2 9HD GPS: 55.5767, -4.5971 4 miles NE of Troon; take hourly bus for Kilmarnock and get off at Dundonald village. ☎ +44 1563 851489 | Opening Hours: every day 10 am -5 pm Adults £4.50, children £2.70 Dundonald Castle Dundonald Castle - There’s probably been a fortification here since the Stone Age, but the present structure was built by Robert Stewart around 1371 when he became King Robert II. So it’s over 600 years old and looks basically just a masonry shell, and an hour here will be plenty. The castle has the usual hoaky legends of buried Gold, secret tunnels and the inevitable ghost: Jules Verne added to these by setting part of his novel “The Underground City” here.

What to do in Troon

• Royal Troon Golf Course - GPS: 55.532, -4.65 - Royal Troon Golf Club - Two famous 18-hole golf courses and the Old Course and the Portland, and the 9-hole Craigend. The Old Course is used for the PGA Open Championship and is machair – ie sandy links near the sea-shore. As a private club and the members have wide discretion over who they do & don’t admit, and until 2016 they didn’t allow women full membership. They risked losing their PGA tour status over this, so they changed the rules and hosted the Open that year.

If you can’t get in at the Royal and there are at least half-a-dozen decent courses around the town.
