CROSSGATES 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. 

A greyhound track in the tiny Scottish village of Crossgates in Fife was situated at 3° 22' W 56° 4' N on Humbug Park. The village is just 2 miles from Dunfermline and 2 miles south-east of Cowdenbeath. The independently run flapping track held its opening meeting in 1937 and ran successfully for 16 years.

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
