🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿2026 Bowls Scotland National Championships 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

While slightly later than usual in the calendar, this week sees the National Championships kick off with TBC once again fielding a strong contingent down in sunny Ayrshire at the National Bowls Centre.

With our Ladies Triples looking to defend their 2025 Scottish title, and our strong Men's Fours both taking to the green we will no doubt also have the usual Big T support in their masses cheering them on!

Also we want to wish all of the fellow East Lothian Bowls teams the best of luck across the week!

Good Luck to all and lets hope for another successful week at Ayr!! 🏆🥇🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
