A high point in the history of the S.B.A. took place in 1926, with the first publishing of the 'Year Book', as we know it. This comprehensive little volume, contains each year an update of everything pertaining to Scottish and International bowls. It has been described as the 'Bible' of Scottish Bowlers.

In 1942, the Scottish Bowling Association reached its fiftieth birthday. As it was in the middle of wartime, celebrations were somewhat restricted but the Association managed to produce an attractive little brochure, which was compiled by the Rev. H.O. Wallace (President of S.B.A. 1946), Member of Council for East Lothian and a member of the Dirleton Club.

The first president of the S.B.A. was a doctor and the President in the Jubilee Year was also a medical man Dr John Ord, Whitehouse and Grange Club, Edinburgh. The prologue and epilogue to the brochure were written respectively by Major Sir Ivor B. Thomson, D.L., J.P., President, International Bowling Board and Mr Andrew Hamilton Hon., President Scottish Bowling Association.

In 1942 there were 29 council members representing 14 districts.

On 14th October 1953, the Association attained a very rare privilege on being granted their own Coat of Arms by the Lord Lyon. The Coat of Arms, as shown on the front of the brochure is proudly worn as the badge of the Scottish Bowling Association.

The British Isles Council was formed in 1958, and the first British Isles Championships were played in 1959, originally it consisted of Fours, Pairs and Singles, but later Triples and Junior Singles were added. The Championships are played each year in conjunction with the Home Internationals, all of which are under control of the British Isles Bowls Council.
