The Ayrshire Tornadoes are a basketball team based across Ayrshire, Scotland.
History
The club was founded in 1991 as Troon Basketball Club, playing home games at Marr College, Troon. Once one of Scotland's leading amateur basketball clubs, the club joined the Scottish Men's National League for the 1998-99 season, quickly establishing themselves as a very capable National League team.
For the first time, the team were relegated to Division 2 after a poor 2015-16 season which saw the Tornadoes pick up just two victories.
