AUCHINLECK GREYHOUND STADIUM

This site is not an official website for the track shown here and is neither approved or endorsed by the stadium. I am indebted to Richard English for helping to construct this page. 

The independent flapping track at the Scottish town of Auchinleck near Ayr was located at 4° 18' W 55° 28' N and opened in the early 1930s.
The track had a circumference of 365 yards and ran Sprints over 264 yards, Standard races over 412 yards and Distance races over 610 yards.

This section gives a comprehensive picture of the badges produced by the track throughout the ages, but only provides the briefest of glimpses of its history. For those wishing to undertake further research we can recommend a visit to
