Cycle Route 7, Marr College
Another rather mind-stretching transformation of the former railway line at the entrance to Marr College. Although Marr College was built in 1935, it does not appear on the 1938 revision of the OS map, so the actual juxtaposition of the railway and college is obscure.

Troon 2nd railway station (site), Ayrshire
Opened in 1839 by the Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock & Ayr Railway, later part of the Glasgow & South Western Railway, this station closed to passengers in 1892 when the current (3rd) station on a new alignment opened (see Image).
View north towards Barassie and Glasgow. The main station buildings were to the left and are now private residences. The white single storey building centre-right was on the opposite platform. In between the two buildings were 2 parallel platforms and a two track railway line.
After closure to passengers, the station was kept as a goods station for many years. The track was finally taken up in the 1990s.
(Troon's first railway station was at the harbour, the terminus of the Kilmarnock & Troon Railway, with roots going back to 1812).

Marr College, Troon
Category B-listed. Architect John Arthur. Although completed in 1930, opening was held back until 1935 due to legal delays. Following the death of Charles Kerr Marr in 1919, a substantial sum was left to a Trust whose remit was to bring about the advancement of education in Troon. This led to the founding of Marr College.

Hic Patet Ingeniis Campus
The motto of Marr College, Troon, whose once-coppered dome has been green for many years. To some, the motto means 'Here is a field open to talent' or other variations thereof, but to others (who probably didn't take Latin at "Marr") it means 'Here lies a very clever camper'!
Taken from the footbridge at Troon Railway Station. Part of Dundonald Hill forms the backdrop.
