Hi Martiboy

If it is the dog track in Stevenston you are talking about - if coming from Saltcoats, carry along Canal Street, past what would have been the Maple Leaf, under the railway bridge, and continue along past Auchenharvie until you go into Stevenston and the dog track was on the right hand side, where the road divided (now a roundabout) to either go right to the dog track or left to go into Stevenston town. The dog track is no longer there.

Hope this helps
