LARKHALL 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 Larkhall in South Lanarkshire, some 14 miles south-east of Glasgow, had a greyhound track situated at 3° 58' W 55° 44' N which first opened for racing on 21st December 1938. The independently run track was at the Raplock Sports Stadium and raced successfully for over 25 years, eventually closing in 1964.

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
