There are Wikipedia entries for both these stations (though the second is Winton, not Wigton), and both these entries include both coordinates and OS Map references, and details of what remains of them, so they should be easy for you to find.

It's Ardrossan North (Closed January 1932?) and Ardrossan Winton Pier. (Closed January 1987) that you are looking for.

As Chris999999 points out, Wikipedia is your friend.

If looking for old photos, don't forget that both these now closed stations would have had name changes over the years.

Ardrossan Winton Pier was previously known as Ardrossan Pier prior to 1924.

Ardrossan North previously known as Ardrossan Town before 1924 (there's been more than one) and before that Ardrossan.

Not sure if it is the same station, but I remember in the 70,s walking an abandoned line from Stevenson to Ardrossan and coming across at least 1 possibly 2 disused stations with platforms ( no buildings). I f memory is correct I seem to remember also a bricked up tunnel. It was a long time ago and memory becomes hazy.
