The Scottish Greyhound Derby was an original classic greyhound competition held from 1928 to 2019, at Carntyne Stadium and then Shawfield Stadium.{{cite web| url = http://www.thedogs.co.uk| title = Greyhound Board of Great Britain {{!}} GBGB}}
History
The competition was introduced at Carntyne Stadium in 1928.{{cite news |url=https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/bl/0000540/19280426/173/0015 |title=Carntyne Scottish Derby |work=The Scotsman |date=26 April 1928 |via=British Newspaper Archive |url-access=subscription |access-date=30 November 2024 }} It was held until 1968 at the track but with the closure of Carntyne the race switched at Shawfield from 1970 until 1985.{{cite book|last=Barnes|first=Julia|title=Daily Mirror Greyhound Fact File, pages 195-196|year=1988|publisher=Ringpress Books|isbn=0-948955-15-5}}
In 1988, the Greyhound Racing Association (GRA), moved the race to Powderhall Stadium in Edinburgh because they had the rights to the event and wanted it to take place at one of their tracks.{{cite web|url=http://greyhoundstar.co.uk/remember-july-4-2/|title=Remember When July|date=28 July 2019|publisher=Greyhound Star}} After just two years it returned to Glasgow and Shawfield following the sale of Powderhall by the GRA.{{cite book|last=Genders|first=Roy|title=The Encyclopedia of Greyhound Racing|year=1981|publisher=Pelham Books Ltd|isbn=07207-1106-1}}
