Darvel
Darvel or Dervel (population 3,361) is a small town in East Ayrshire, Scotland. It goes to the eastern end of the Irvine Valley as well as is in some cases described as "The Lang Toon" (English: the Long Town). The town's Latin adage, Non sibi sed cunctis, suggests "Except ourselves, however, for others". Darvel is located on the A71 road that ranges from Irvine on the west coast to Edinburgh on the eastern. The town is 9 miles (14 kilometres) east of Kilmarnock and is the most easterly of the Valley Towns, the others being Galston and Newmilns. The community was also when related to Stonehouse (through Strathaven) by the Caledonian Railway. Nevertheless, the line was closed by the LMS before the Second World War. The previous Glasgow and South Western Railway branch line to Kilmarnock made it through for a lot longer and was closed in 1964 as part of the Beeching Axe. Much of the route of both the old train lines is still in existence, although the rails have actually time out of mind gone and lots of road bridges have actually been removed. There was a huge viaduct to the east of the town, in the lea of Loudoun Hill, which lugged the railway line over the valley. This was however, knocked down in 1986, and just the piers continue to be. The River Irvine flows via the community as well as as soon as powered neighborhood mills.
