The full lineup of Para Bowls athletes for Team Scotland at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games has been announced.
Glasgow 2026 will see Bowls and Para Bowls in a reimagined format and for the first time in Games history it will be played indoors. With four medal events in Bowls and three in Para Bowls, the revised competition formats will be fully integrated and run across all ten days of the competition.
Leading the charge for the Para Bowls team is Birmingham 2022 gold medallist Pauline Wilson. In her Team Scotland debut, Wilson took gold in the Women’s B6-8 Pairs and will be hoping to repeat her success four years on. She will be partnered by Mary Wilson.
The depth of experience and accomplishments continues with returning gold medallists from Birmingham 2022 and all heading to their third Games for the team namely Garry Brown in the Mixed Pairs (B6-B8); Robert Barr in the Mixed Pairs (B2-B3) and his Para Director Sarah Jane Ewing.
Completing the line-up are: Stuart Sloan (Men’s Pairs, B6-B8), Mary Stevenson, (Mixed Pairs, B2-B3) and Jim Aitken (Para Director, B2-B3).
Elinor Middlemiss, Team Scotland Chef de Mission, said: “We are delighted to announce the entire team for Bowls and Para Bowls, and I’d like to congratulate all the athletes selected.
“Our Bowls and Para Bowls athletes have historically been very successful at the Games, and I am sure it will be no different with this exciting new format and in an indoor setting. This team has such a mix of youth and experience, it is wonderful to see the sport attracting new players of all ages and I am sure they will undoubtedly inspire those who come along to watch and cheer them on at the SEC Centre.”
Athletes from across all 10 sports and six Parasports featured at Glasgow 2026 will continue to be selected in the coming months as Team Scotland shapes up for an exciting home Games.
