Northern Bowling Club

One of Edinburghs most historic bowling clubs, located in the centre of town. Open to new members.

On the 10th October 1879 the ‘Edinburgh Courant’ reported the opening of a Bowling Green and Curling Pond at Henderson Row by Perth Street, which had been leased by the Northern Bowling Club (Limited) from Heriot’s Hospital. A portion of ground had been laid out as a Bowling Green with sea turf from Irvine and the Curling Pond was laid at the cost of £694 2s 2d, so commenced the life of the Northern Bowling Club.
