What was happening in the Courier 25, 50 and 100 years ago?
Sayings and doings of 25 years ago.
IT WAS the end of an era in Wallyford, reported the East Lothian Courier on April 5, 1996. Wallyford’s long-standing association with greyhound racing finally came to end last Friday when Wallyford Dog Track held its last meeting prior to the site being taken over by Morrison Homes. Racing has taken place there since 1937, and for the last four years Mary Robertson and her husband Hugh have been running the track on a month-to-month lease. However, when owner Norman Henderson decided to let the land go for housing, the couple were left with no choice but to pull out.
