I decided to write a reply after all...

Dear Nan,
Thank you once again for your reply.
As regards the building built in the late 70s in addition to the facilities you mention I can recall a conservative estimate of 30 additional classrooms which were included (I attended it when the new extension was open) although these may currently be disused because of South Ayrshire Council's neglect of the school. [The new building included classrooms for Modern Languages, Geography, History, Latin, Classics, Art, Woodwork, Technical Drawing, a common room for 6th years, 2 gyms, 1 large games hall, a library, a canteen, etc at that time. English, Sciences, Music, Drama, Home Economics, Computing, Maths stayed in the old building.] Therefore although this may not have been sufficient to meet the over capacity problem it in a large part (if not completely) addressed it.
As regards your point about Marr College being an attraction for people coming to live in Troon. If the school was closed and a new one opened this removes one of the reasons people wish to relocate to Troon as the school available would be just like all the others. This is I believe is a major reason to keep the existing school open and to build on its reputation, not destroy it.
I thank you for taking the time to write back to me once again. I look forward to good outcome for Marr College and its current and future pupils.
Regards
Christopher Crawford
