Note

From Pictorial History of Darvel: Temple Derval was the house George Lambie, blacksmith, and was situated on land behind and to the west of Hastings Square. Built in 1745 the view here is from an old painting. The land was once in possession of the Knights Templar until the Order was suppressed in Scotland in 1309. The eastern portion of the lands of Temple Derval were occupied at the end of last century by the lace mill of Alexander Morton & Co. The house itself pay part of the way down and across what is now Temple Street, so called to commemorate it and the earliest recorded history of the town. It was taken down around 1851.

After she died, Hugh Smith and family came to Darvel. The house and Temple lands 4 1/2 acres came to Hugh Smith, through his wife.
George Smith [my "i.e. George Smith" of Leytonstone grandfather (and Jean Morrells great great grandfather)]

It was pulled down about 1855 and the substance of the bed? house was used again in the building corner of West Main Str and Temple Str.
