Patna is a small village in East Ayrshire, Scotland, set in the rural Doon Valley beside the River Doon. Its distinctive name recalls the city of Patna, India, and the settlement grew in the 19th century as a local industrial centre amid surrounding farmland and forestry.
Historically tied to coal mining and other local industry, the village today is largely residential with local shops and community facilities, while many residents commute to larger towns. The surrounding Ayrshire countryside offers plenty of outdoor recreation and a sense of local history and literary associations that contribute to Patna’s quiet village character.
