Marr play their home games at Fullarton estate and has done since early 1970’s.Until then it had used the school grounds since the club's formation in the 1940s. It was originally for the former pupils of Marr College, a secondary school in Troon, and there is still a close affiliation between the club and local high school. They play in the distinct colours of purple, gold and green. Over the last few years Marr has had a revival mainly due to the introduction of former Scotland 'A' cap Craig Redpath as head coach and latterly Former Ayr players Paul Burke and Stephen Adair as additional coaches.

Starting with the 2010–11 season, Marr began a run of four successive league title wins which promoted the club from the sixth to the second tier of Scottish club rugby for the 2014–15 season. They were promoted in the 2016-17 season and for the 2017-18 season they will play in the Scottish Premiership.[1]

gollark: The technology already kind of exists.
gollark: My very guessed predictions for the PC market's future in the next 10 years:- ARM will become more of a thing in laptops and perhaps servers, but x86 will continue to stick around a lot- Phones (with portable dock things with extra batteries, keyboards and bigger screens) will take over from laptops for a lot of people's casual uses.- HDDs will mostly cease to exist in the average person's devices and mostly be used in servers, some people's desktops for whatever reason, and NASes- CPU clock speeds/IPC will continue increasing slowly and we'll get moar coar and more GPU offloading to compensate- Persistent RAM stuff like Optane will get used a bit but remain mostly niche
gollark: yes.
gollark: Unlikely.
gollark: On ARM, only servers have UEFI or anything, everything else is a minefield of pure horror.
