The Scottish National Bowls Championships is one of the oldest bowls competitions in the world.
In 1892, James Brown of Sanquhar Bowling Club and Dr Clark of the Partick Bowling Club formed the Scottish Bowls Association and organised the first rink (fours) championship the following year at the Queen's Park Bowling Club, Glasgow (it was the first national championships and was known as the McEwan Cup).
[1][2][3][4] The first singles winner (originally called the Roseberry Trophy) was George Sprot and his son Bob Sprot was a three-time champion and the first gold medal singles champion at the Commonwealth Games for Scotland.
[2][5] The championships are organised by Bowls Scotland.
