Location:

Old Kilpatrick to Dumbarton, Bowling

Description:

Bowling Basin and Harbour are at the western entrance of the Forth and Clyde Canal, also known as the Millennium Link.

The former industrial area at Bowling Basin has already undergone a renaissance as a leisure destination but is plagued by poor access beyond the basin to the wider waterspace. British Waterways Scotland has a land holding extending to some 13acres and it is hoped that redevelopment of this waterside area will create the momentum to unlock the remaining waterfront in Bowling.

Plans are currently being developed for a new leisure and tourism led redevelopment scheme underpinned by a new residential development.

Current status:

A masterplan is being prepared which will guide the redevelopment.
