Straiton

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Straiton is a village on the River Girvan in South Ayrshire in Scotland, mainly built in the 18th century, but with some recent housing. It is often overlooked due to the larger and similarly named village outside Edinburgh.

It was the main location for the film The Match, where two rival pubs played an annual football match as a challenge. However, since the village has only one pub, a house was used as a pub for filming.

It lies in the hills between Kirkmichael, Dalmellington, Crosshill, and Maybole.
