Argyll's Bowling Green (Scottish Gaelic: Baile na Grèine meaning "sunny hamlet" or "sunny cattle fold"), also known as the Ardgoil peninsula, is an area on the Ardgoil estate in Argyll and Bute, Scotland.
[1][3] The name is marked on James Dorret's 1750 General Map of Scotland and Islands thereto belonging.
[4] In the 1834–1845 account by Rev John McDougal, minister of the area, he describes how people going to the low country (south) had to climb the “Duke of Argyle’s bowling green”.
The name is an anglicisation of the Gaelic, which may be consciously humorous, as there is very little flat land.
The name originally referred to a small grazing ground on the south east side of the peninsula above Mark (grid reference NS229951) but is sometimes used to describe the peninsula.
