KIRKCALDY 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 Kirkcaldy in Fife, some 12 miles north of Edinburgh and 27 miles south-west of Dundee, had a greyhound track which was situated at 3° 10' W 56° 6' N and first held races on 15th December 1934.

The flapping track was located on the local Sports Ground and was run very successfully for almost 40 years before closing in 1970.

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
