Nevis Centre Bowling
Bookings, deposits and ramps
Anyone can bowl here. The online system takes groups of up to six; for bigger parties, ring the centre on 01397 700707 or email it.
Eight lanes at An Aird
Bowling in Lochaber means the Nevis Centre at An Aird, where an 8-lane alley opens seven days a week. The centre is operated by Linnhe Leisure, a Scottish charity, and it shows in the pricing: residents of Lochaber can sign up for a card that cuts a game to £5, and a Young Bowlers Card for ages 6 to 17 brings it down to £3.
Standard games cost £6.50 for anyone aged 16 or over and £5 for under-16s, with students also paying £5 on production of ID. Beside the lanes there is a bar, pool and air hockey, and access ramps are available. A bowling league takes over the lanes on Monday evenings, and the centre runs a Jingle Bowls Christmas party night and Hogmanay events for 2026. Online bookings take groups of up to six; larger groups should phone.
