Although named simply as Alves on maps these days, older maps use the full name, Crook of Alves. From here, one is blissfully unaware of the busy A96 that carries heavy traffic along the edge of the village. The conspicuous green domes in the distance are biomass digesters at Wester Alves Farm. The name is pronounced AH-viss, by the way - the 'l' is silent and it has two syllables. Not 'alvz'.
