What is recorded here
Lochinch Castle, Bowling Alley stands in Dumfries and Galloway as a 19th Century bowling alley, its exact position marked within ten metres on the national record. The flat stones may have ringed with the clatter of wooden balls while castle shadows stretched across the lawn. People likely competed for pride rather than money, laughing when a shot veered toward grass instead of junction. The alley preserved the shape of that playful tension between skill and chance.
