Auchinleck Greyhound Stadium was a greyhound racing stadium in East Ayrshire.
The greyhound stadium in Auchinleck was located south of Mauchline Road and north of Barony Road in Auchinleck, East of Ayr. [1] The track was a popular independent (unlicensed) track for over 70 years and had a 365-yard circumference and a 100 yards run to the first bend with the main distances being 264, 410 and 610 yards. [2] The major race was the Autumn Auchinleck Derby and the track was the birthplace of famous Scottish bookmaker Fearless Freddie Williams [3] who had his first pitch there. [4]
The stadium closed in 2003 and was sold for redevelopment in 2006.
