ARMADALE 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.

 
Armadale Stadium is based at Armadale, near Edinburgh in West Lothian in Scotland and first held a meeting on 16th February 1939. That first meeting was based at Volunteer Grounds and the site lasted until 1944 before moving on to Bathgate. The track was originally around the local football pitch until it moved to a more permanent home.

The current stadium also is the home of speedway and has shared its ground with the Edinburgh Monarchs Speedway team since 1997. The principal races are the West Lothian Stakes and the Armadale Sprint Championships.

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
