The Tams Brig track, also known as Ayr Greyhound Stadium, was located between Limekiln Road and Elmbank Street, and was overlooked by the houses that ran along Elmbank Street.[2]
The first race was on 16 December 1933 and racing took place on Monday and Saturday evenings at 7pm.[3] Amenities included a large licensed club and sixteen on-course bookmakers. The circumference was tight because it was 300 yards with race distances of 250, 400 & 550 yards.
The circuit was changed to all sand in the late sixties, and the starting traps and photo finish were constructed by the stadium staff.[4]
Last days
Tams Brig was active for 39 years until 30 December 1972, when it was replaced by the Ayr Curling Club and ice rink.[5]
