Darvel
Darvel or Dervel (population 3,361) is a village in East Ayrshire, Scotland. It goes to the eastern end of the Irvine Valley and also is sometimes described as "The Lang Toon" (English: the Long Town). The community's Latin motto, Non sibi sed cunctis, implies "Except ourselves, but for others". Darvel is positioned on the A71 road that runs from Irvine on the west coast to Edinburgh on the east. The town is 9 miles (14 km) eastern of Kilmarnock and is the most easterly of the Valley Towns, the others being Galston and Newmilns. The community was likewise when related to Stonehouse (through Strathaven) by the Caledonian Railway. Nonetheless, the line was closed by the LMS before the 2nd World War. The former Glasgow and South Western Train branch line to Kilmarnock made it through for much 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 long since gone as well as many roadway bridges have actually been gotten rid of. There was a big viaduct to the eastern of the town, in the lea of Loudoun Hill, which carried the train line over the valley. This was nonetheless, knocked down in 1986, and just the piers continue to be. The River Irvine flows with the town and once powered neighborhood mills.
