Girvan ((スコットランド・ゲール語:Inbhir Gharbhain), "mouth of the River Girvan")〔(Ainmean-Àite na h-Alba )〕 is a burgh in Carrick, South Ayrshire, Scotland, with a population of about 6,700. It lies south of Ayr, and north of Stranraer, the main ferry port from Scotland to Northern Ireland. ==History== Girvan was originally a fishing port. In 1668 it became a municipal burgh incorporated by charter.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Girvan; South Ayrshire )〕 The opening of the railways, initially with the Maybole and Girvan Railway at the end of the 1850s encouraged the development of Girvan as a seaside resort〔 with beaches and cliffs. Holidaying here from 1855 to 1941 were Robert and Elizabeth Gray and their children; particularly Alice and Edith Gray. The family, led principally by Elizabeth and Alice, created scientifically organised collections of fossils for several museums including the Natural History Museum. The town is now served by Girvan railway station. Just north of the town is a William Grant & Sons distillery which opened in 1963. There is a Nestlé factory that manufactures chocolate that is shipped down to York and used in Kit-Kat and Yorkie bars.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Girvan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
