Queensferry Bowling Club was founded in 1877. We Were founder members of the North Linlithgowshire Bowling League and the West Lothian Bowling Association. We have had varied successes over the years both locally and nationally. We have won the North Linlithgowshire Bowling League five times.

Our players have also won some prestigious county singles competitions, with Andy Dunnett winning the inaugural West Lothian Masters in 1999 and the county Singles in 2001. Neil McLean won the Champion of Champions in 2000 and the Scottish Bowling Association District 14 championship in 2003, Our rink (4 players) also won the District 14 championship in 2003. Our Ladies pairs Mary Beveridge & Caroline Harper won the Scottish Bowling Association District 27 championship in 2002. In 2009 Michael Abrahams qualified for the Junior Singles finals at Ayr, and was also involved in the West Lothian Junior county rink that qualified for the Ayr finals.

We currently have around 200 playing members with the biggest majority of these players being younger than the normal retirement age despite the myth that it is only older people that play bowls. We currently have 3 of our younger bowlers playing for West Lothian at the moment in the Hamilton Trophy competition for county teams. We always enjoy our numerous friendlies that take place over the season. You can't beat a bit of friendly competition over a few drinks. We also have a number of fun days for our male and female members, like ladies day and the boysie pairs. Queensferry Bowling Club is always striving to improve its facilities, this and our recent successes on the green have seen us host the West Lothian County finals in 2003 and the West Lothian Masters Finals in 2004.

We are always on the lookout for new competition sponsors and of course new members, especially juniors who can start playing from the age of ten. We have qualified coaches available to help with all aspects of the sport. If you don't fancy bowling, we also have social memberships available.
