Troon Hotels

Mini guide to Troon

Located on the west coast of Scotland, in Strathclyde, Troon's history is steeped in shipbuilding and golf. The beautiful natural harbour is now home to a vast marina and is considered to be the premier sailing centre in the Firth of Clyde. Troon is a great base from which to explore the outlying Hebrides, Isle of Aran and other islands or travel inland to visit Glasgow.

The marina is impressive, boasting all kinds of yachts and boats throughout the year. From here it is easy to hire a boat for a day trip or longer. Don't miss the North Sands and South Sands, which are wide beaches backed by promenades and the trappings of a sleepy seaside resort.

Troon is also famous for its golf courses and is a delight for any golfer! Eight golf courses surround the town including; Royal Troon Golf Club (two courses), the Kilmarnock Club and three municipal courses. There is certainly something for every level of golfer here.

A visit to Troon wouldn't be complete without seeing Dundonald Castle. The castle was built for Robert II on his accession to the throne of Scotland in 1371 and was used as a Royal residence by the early Stewart kings. On a clear day, you can enjoy extensive views of the surrounding area, including the Isle of Aran, the mountains in the Southern Highlands and the central Ayrshire plain.

It is now possible to access Troon via SeaCat ferry service, which moved to Troon from Stranraer in 2002. If you're travelling by air, the closest airport is the conveniently located Glasgow Prestwick International Airport, which offers good domestic flight connections, as well as flights to major European cities. By car, Troon is reached by travelling south from Glasgow on the M77 then following it onto the A77. Troon can also be reached by rail, via Glasgow.
