Club History

Our first bowling green was situated in the extensive gardens of James McLeish, Dean of Guild, who's property was off Leonard Street in Perth.  This proved to be a popular pastime and at the end of 1853 there were 50 members.

In 1863 the land was purchased by the Scottish Central Railway Company, but fortunately a plot of land was leased from Lord Kinnoull adjacent to Balhousie Castle and the greens were opened for play 12 May 1864.  With the game `catching on` in Perth, it was decided to raise the limit to 120 members.

With a few alterations to our greens and the clubhouse, little has changed in all those years.

Our club has a membership of 66 gents and 30 ladies and we have a very busy fixture list of friendly and competitive matches.  On most Saturdays we have home and away fixtures as well as running open and invitation tournaments on several Sundays during the season.  We also entertain visiting touring teams from all over the country.  The 2006 season was very successful for the club as the men's section won the Campbell Trophy, competed for by the six private clubs in the city, and the ladies won the Fair Maid`s Trophy.
