Bowling Marina

Bowling Marina

A barge on the Union Canal - West Lothian

Located at Bowling Basin, the western terminus of the Forth & Clyde Canal continues to develop. Located only 30 to 40 minutes drive from Glasgow, Bowling Marina has proved extremely popular as a cost-effective base for yachts and motor cruisers both summer and winter. In particular for wintering ashore, potential customers are strongly advised to book early since over the last two seasons all spaces have sold out!

Shore power units have been installed, and 24 hour security is provided. Customers holding long term licences, of 3 months and over may also enjoy visits to the other Scottish canals at no extra charge.
