Troon colourful but quiet as town tees up for The Open

With jet-washed pavements, resurfaced roads and planters freshly painted in cobalt blue, Troon is looking its best for the world’s greatest golfers to arrive for the 152nd Open Championship.

The seaside town is teeing up for a wave of international attention and tourists, with an estimated £200m to come to the local economy, according to the council.

Players from across the world will start competing for the famous Claret Jug trophy on Thursday – including Scottish Open champion Robert MacIntyre.

But the floodgates have not yet opened – if anything the number of people out and about appears less than usual.

Locals told BBC Scotland News they are steering clear of the town to avoid crowds.
