The plans to build a new greyhound stadium on a ten-acre site, west of Gretna were first instigated in 1983. The name Halcrow derives from Jim Halcrow a well-known Shetland accordionist.

[2] Distances included 120, 300, 490 and 685 metres over a circumference of 380 metres, more recently distances of 280 and 470 metres were used. [3]
The racing remained independent and was not controlled by the Greyhound Board of Great Britain. Amenities included several bars, a hospitality suite and function rooms for parties, weddings and traditional music events. [4]
