Bowling Lock-Keepers' Cottages, Forth And Clyde Canal

Bowling Lock-Keepers' Cottages, built by Burnet, Son and Campbell around 1896, are two-storey, three-bay Arts and Crafts former lock keepers' houses that resemble a single villa, with lower bays to the west. The cottages are located on the north side of the Forth and Clyde Canal, overlooking the upper Bowling basin. They are finished in white harl with red sandstone margins, featuring piended slate roofs, terracotta ridges, and prominent eaves. There is a forestair to the east that leads to the upper flat. The buildings have shouldered wallhead stacks and ridge stacks, along with some round and segmental-arched window openings on the ground floor. The windows are primarily 4-over-2 pane timber sash and case. The interior was partially viewed in 2013, but no notable features of special interest were observed in the section that was seen.
