GALSTON 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 town of Galston, East Ayrshire and some 4 miles from Kilmarnock, had a greyhound track situated at 4° 22' W 55° 36' N which first opened its gates on 9th June 1933.

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
