    I know Troon was in Ayr Burghs from 1918 to 1950, which other constituencies has it been in?

    I’m sure it was included in Ayr from then until 2005

    ‘I’m sure [Troon] was included in Ayr from [1950] until 2005′

    On doing further research it does in fact look like it was in

    the ‘old’ Ayrshire Central 1950-83
    Ayr 1983-2005
    and this seat since.
