Ayrshire Towns ... Troon |
The name “Troon” comes from the Celtic word “trwyn”,
which means “headland” or “point”. The old part of Troon
town was built on the rocky nose that extends from the sandy bays to the
North and South. Troon is twinned with town of Villeneuve- sur-Lot in France,
Villeneuve- sur-Lot is a little town synonymous with the game of golf.
The Royal Troon Golf Club was the host of the 133rd Open Golf Championship
in July 2004. Troon is a busy Scottish sporting venue as it also has a successful
basketball team. The Scotland football team uses Troon as its base before
international matches.
Troon has many small privately-owned shops offering friendly personal service.
And the Port of Troon offers one of the most sheltered harbours on the west
coast of Scotland. Troon is now established as a major ferry and fishing
port, and is the closest fishing port to the rest of the UK
