== Grannie stone==

The Grannie Stane (or Granny Stane) is described as "One of Irvine's prehistoric puzzles", this boulder is either a glacial erratic left behind from the Ice Age or is the last remaining stone of a stone circle - others were removed, by blasting in 1897 and 1899, after the Irvine weir was constructed in 1895, but popular protests saved this remaining stone.〔Strawhorn, page 2.〕 The weir raised the water level and the stone became therefore became less prominent. The stones had been on the upstream side of the old Irvine Bridge.〔Love (2009), Page 27〕 It was also humorously known as 'Paddy's Milestone' after Ailsa Craig due to its supposed resemblance to that island.
