Troon: Troon Yacht Haven
Few places on Scotland’s Ayrshire coast have a past as closely bound to maritime trade as Troon. On the Firth of Clyde, the town grew around a harbour developed in the early 19th century to export coal from Ayrshire’s pits; its broad basin remains central to the waterfront. Troon Yacht Haven is a marina of pontoons and berths beside the town’s harbour infrastructure and seafront. Offshore, the Firth opens towards the Isle of Arran, while the Ayrshire coast runs north and south from town. Troon is also a major name in links golf: Royal Troon Golf Club, founded in 1878, has hosted The Open Championship, most recently in 2024, and its Old Course lies along the shore.

Across the country, the River Tay is Scotland’s longest river, while the Atlantic-facing west coast contrasts with the North Sea shores to the east.
