Old travel Blog photograph of Barassie, Troon, Ayrshire, Scotland. Barassie is a former village on the east shore of the Firth of Clyde in South Ayrshire. Today it serves as a suburb on the northern edge of Troon. Troon is famous for its Royal Troon golf course, one of the hosts to the Open Golf Championship. Troon Harbour played a notable part in the development of the town for many years. It was home to the Ailsa Shipbuilding Company. Troon old railway station was one of the first passenger stations in Scotland as part of the Kilmarnock and Troon Railway. The Grey Lady of Troon. The Grey Lady is a tale or fable that has surrounded Troon for years. She was first sighted by Jason Grant, a local farmer, in 1873. I hope these might be of interest to folks with Scottish ancestry.
