Bowling is a village in the Scottish council area of West Dunbartonshire . It is located about five kilometers east-southeast of Dumbarton and 16 km northwest of central Glasgow on the north bank of the Firth of Clyde and at the foot of the Kilpatrick Hills .
Bowling had mills and a brewery in the 18th century . In 1790, the opening of the Forth and Clyde Canal , whose end point is bowling, had a positive effect on the development of the village. At the beginning of the 19th century port facilities were set up and a steamboat connection to Lochgilphead was established. Bowling was also the location of the major whiskey distillery Littlemill . It was founded in 1772 and closed in 1992.
