Scotland's last real tennis court, located in Troon, is facing an uncertain future after years of disuse. The historic Edwardian-era venue, once a popular destination for international players, has fallen into decline despite its significance to the sport.
Real tennis, often referred to as the 'sport of kings', predates the modern game and was once widely played among the elite. The Troon court stands as the final remaining facility of its kind in Scotland, representing a unique piece of sporting heritage.
Efforts to secure the court's future have yet to yield a clear path forward, leaving its long-term preservation in question.
