A large army training camp is situated to the E of the main railway line some 2km N of Troon. Used in the Second World War, it consisted of large and small wooden huts, Nissen huts, recreational areas and a large parade ground in the centre. Between the camp and the railway several trench systems were dug. Parts of the camp have, since the war, been built on.
