| BLANTYRE 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 greyhound track at the Scottish town of Blantyre was situated at 4° 5' W 55° 47' N. The track was called Craighead and held its inaugural meeting on 6th October 1933. |
   |
| The track closed for the final time on 22nd April 1982 and the land on which the former track once stood is now covered by a motorway. |

I am grateful to Jon Seddon for the following link to a map showing the whereabouts of the old track |
| 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 http://astore.amazon.co.uk/wwwgreyhoundd-21 where further reading can be undertaken. |
