Troon F.C., affectionately known as "The Seasiders" or "The Seagulls," is a historic Scottish football team based in Ayrshire. Established in 1946, the club competes in the West of Scotland Football League and is based at Portland Park.
The club boasts a rich history rooted in the local community, with football in the area dating back as far as 1875. A notable feature for any visitor is the team's striking kit of blue and black vertical stripes, a tradition adopted in the late 1970s that mirrors the iconic colours of Inter Milan.
