Darvel
Darvel or Dervel (population 3,361) is a town in East Ayrshire, Scotland. It is at the eastern end of the Irvine Valley as well as is in some cases described as "The Lang Toon" (English: the Long Town). The community's Latin motto, Non sibi sed cunctis, indicates "Except ourselves, but also for others". Darvel is situated on the A71 roadway that runs from Irvine on the west coastline to Edinburgh on the eastern. The town is 9 miles (14 km) east of Kilmarnock and also is one of the most easterly of the Valley Towns, the others being Galston as well as Newmilns. The community was also once related to Stonehouse (through Strathaven) by the Caledonian Railway. Nevertheless, the line was nearby the LMS before the Second World War. The previous Glasgow as well as South Western Railway branch line to Kilmarnock made it through for much longer and also was enclosed 1964 as part of the Beeching Axe. Much of the path of both the old railway lines is still out there, although the rails have actually long since gone as well as several roadway bridges have actually been removed. There was a large viaduct to the eastern of the community, in the lea of Loudoun Hill, which lugged the railway line over the valley. This was nevertheless, knocked down in 1986, and also only the piers remain. The River Irvine flows through the community as well as once powered regional mills.
