Located just outside Galashiels, this is a great hub for something a bit different. The indoor bowling green is one of the best in the region and is a fun, social activity for all ages—from kids to seniors. It’s a very relaxed environment and a great way to spend a couple of hours out of the rain.
The surrounding sports complex also has outdoor tracks and pitches, but the indoor bowling is the main draw for visitors looking for a structured activity.
Good to know: It is very close to the Tweedbank railway station (the end of the line from Edinburgh), making it extremely easy to reach without a car. There is also a cafe on-site for snacks and drinks.
