Drukken Steps, Stepping stones in North Ayrshire, Scotland
The Drukken Steps consist of seven stones placed across the Red Burn, creating a path through Eglinton Woods near Stanecastle in North Ayrshire.
The stepping stones date back to the 18th century when they formed part of an established route connecting Irvine to Kilwinning and Stevenston.
Robert Burns and Richard Brown regularly crossed these stones during their walks through Eglinton Woods between 1781 and 1782.
The location of the former stepping stones can be found at coordinates 55.628842 latitude and -4.654445 longitude in the Eglinton Country Park.
The name Drukken originates from the unsteady walking motion people made while crossing from stone to stone over the water.
