Peter Hugh Waddell moved into the present premises at 36 West Portland Street, Troon around 1920, after purchasing the building from Hector Cowan who ran a Public House from the building. The Title Deeds show Hector Cowan as the first owner of the property from 1861 until Waddell & Mackintosh took over the property. Waddell & Mackintosh is a great institution in the local area but are also happy to carry out work all over Scotland inclusive of dealings in Orkney (where Rognvald’s family originate from) down to Dumfries and Galloway (where the late John Muir Mason was brought up). In terms of links to the local community, Waddell & Mackintosh are proud sponsors of numerous local organisations, some of which include: Marr Rugby Club, based at Fortress Fullarton; The Campaign for Real Ale (Ayrshire branch), held annually at the local town hall; Ayrshire Golf Festival, held annually at the local community golf courses; Ayrshire Music Festival and The Rotary Club, together with many others.
