Some properties take months to build. Others take years to get just right. For us, No.36 South Beach in Troon has been 18 months in the making - a home that’s seen history, change, and now, a thoughtful transformation.

Previously known as Firbrae, this early 19th-century property had long been a familiar face on Troon’s South Beach. With its distinctive stone façade and beachfront location, it stood proudly - though in need of attention. The owners saw its potential not just as a building, but as an experience. And from there, the journey began.

This is a look at what’s changed, what’s been preserved, and what No.36 South Beach now offers to every guest who walks through the door.

Respecting the Past, Rebuilding for the Future

The original structure of No.36 had undeniable charm - tall ceilings, Gothic-style windows, and rooms that held stories from decades gone by. For years, it was both a family home and, interestingly, a doctor’s surgery. But by the time its current owners took it on, it needed more than just a fresh coat of paint.

The decision was made early on: restore the best of the original features, and rebuild the rest around how people live and travel today. The process was extensive - from structural work and layout redesigns to a landscaping masterpiece. A huge amount of time and care went into every decision, big and small. See a glimpse of where it started in the images below…

The Location
