| HAWICK (TARGET HILL) 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 Scottish Border town of Hawick, some 10 miles from Jedburgh and roughly the same distance from Selkirk, boasted two greyhound tracks in the past. The most recent track was situated on Albert Park, but the earliest track to open was on Braid Road at Target Hill and situated at 2° 46' W 55° 25' N. The inaugural meeting was held in 1939 and was independently run for almost 30 years. |

| The track closed for the final time in 1967. |

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. |
