Bowls Scotland is the governing body for the sport of bowls in Scotland. ^[1] A subsidiary of World Bowls, it is responsible for the leadership, development and management of lawn bowls in Scotland. It is headquartered in Ayr. ^[2]

The organisation's presidents are Ron McArthur (of Zetland Bowling Club), for the men's, and Marella O'Neill (of Dalry Bowling Club), for the women's.

Bowls Scotland was established in 2011, after the unification of separate men's and women's governing bodies of the sport.

The Bowls Scotland National Championships is the largest week-long bowls competition in the world. It sees over one thousand players competing for 24 national championships across the men's, women's, youth and para sections. ^[3]
