The girls.
Deva is a small picturesque fishing village with a beautiful long sandy beach and grass, 2 miles north of Turnberry and 5 miles west of Maybol on the southwest coast of Scotland. Deva is a delightful village located on the northern side of Turnberry Point, overlooking Maidenhead. Below are photos of old postcards of girls. The view has not changed much, but the fishing boats are gone.
The village keeps the old world of peace and tranquility and is a favorite place for camera artists and enthusiasts. It was in the Maidens that Robert Bruce landed when he sailed from Ratlin Island.
The Maidens probably got their name from Maidenhead Rocks, which lie at the end of a long pier that protects a small sandy harbor.
It was once a lively fishing port, but today it is mainly used by those who sail for pleasure. The village is very popular and has four caravan parks, and many daytime tourists come to enjoy the beach, parking for cars, a landscaped picnic area and an equipped playground.
Culzean Castle is located about a mile north of the Virgin, and a webpage on this site was created to give you a taste. In addition, Ailsa Craig is a volcanic plug that is in sight of the Maidens, and a web page was again created on this site.
West of the 18th-century harbor is an abandoned slip, associated with the firm of Alexander McCredy, established in 1883 for the construction of ocean-going vessels. The former site of the Ailsa shipyard, long established in Troon.
Behind the bridge is Port Murray, a small sandy bay between the rocks, topped with a prize-winning “modern” house of 1963, designed by Peter Womesley.
The second beach is a few hundred yards further to the west, known as Port of John. There are several rocky cliffs here, part of Bane Hill, which has a prehistoric standing stone, located near its summit.
