"We still have time to finish the game and to thrash the Spaniards, too"
One of a series of caches in and around the historic Powfoot and Cummertrees area. This quick multi is centred at what once used to be the heart of recreational life, the Powfoot Lawn Bowls Club.
Powfoot Bowling Pavilion
Dating from around 1907, Powfoot Bowling Pavilion is a good example of its type and is representative of the English Arts and Crafts style. This diminutive building occupies a prominent streetscape position in the centre of Powfoot.
Lawn bowls today is a hugely popular sport in Scotland. It has a long and distinguished history with the earliest reference to the game in Scotland appearing in 1469, when James IV played a variation of the game referred to as 'lang bowlis' at St Andrews in Fife. Today there are around 900 clubs in Scotland with an estimated 90,000 active lawn bowls players. Sadly, this is no longer one of them.
