Troon in Glasgow

I'm originally Glaswegian. I met a Scot in Spain a few years ago, I asked him where he was from. He said "Glasgow". Presumably he didn't think I had a Glasgow accent. I asked him where in Glasgow he was from. "Erm, Troon". So there you are, Troon in Glasgow. I'm sure there's a long and sad story behind this man's reluctance to admit where he's from. Perhaps he said Troon to cover up that he's really from Dundonald..?
