About Stepps

The etymology of the name is uncertain but may relate to stepping stones over boggy ground. Early maps give the name as Coshnocksteps.Steps is included on several old documents including maps by John Ainslie, Thomas Richardson and William Forrest.

Originally part of the Garnkirk estate, the name for the settlement appears to post-date that of the main road through its centre, Steps Road, which was named in the 19th century. The railway came to Steps around 1831. The name and spelling Stepps only became accepted when the name of the railway station formally changed to Stepps in 1924.

Stepps is home to one of Scotland's oldest Hockey Clubs. Formed in 1913, Stepps Hockey Club is building towards its centenary celebrations and currently competes in the Second Division of the Scottish National Hockey League.
