LINLITHGOW 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 Royal Burgh of Linlithgow is in West Lothian and had a greyhound track located on Mains Park and situated at 3° 37' W 55° 58' N. The town is more famous for its speedway team, but the independently run greyhound track held its inaugural meeting on 1st April 1940.

Racing continued for 7 years before the curtains came down in 1947.

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
