WALLYFORD 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 village of Wallyford, close to Edinburgh, boasted a greyhound stadium in Scarlett Park which was situated at 3° 1'W 55° 56'N. The independently run track ran a number of prominent races throughout its history, including the East Lothian Derby over 470 yards and the East Lothian Sprint over 285 yards. The track also ran distance races over 660 yards. The track closed its gates for the final time in 1992 and the site on which the former track once stood is now covered by a housing estate. |
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. |
