The Musselburgh Bowling Club was founded in 1855 and is the oldest bowling club in the Midlothian District and one of the older clubs in Scotland. The club badge displays the town motto of mussels and anchors reflecting the industry which gave the town its name and the motto of "Honesty" from the story related above.

Musselburgh Bowling Club has a long and distinguished history. The members are particulary proud of the fact that two of its members were Presidents of the Scottish Bowling Association - namely, J B Henderson in 1904 and J Love in 1977.

We also have presented the Midlothian Bowling Association with three Presidents - Sydney Hilton from 1974 - 76, George Langlands in 2000 - 01 and Colin Ritchie in 2006 - 07.
