In March 1887 a meeting of those favourable to the formation of a bowling green in the town was held in the Commercial Hotel, Kincardine-on-Forth. There was a fair attendance and a Mr C.Brown, Blackhall was called upon to occupy the chair. A Committee was appointed to enquire into the likely expense and other matters in connection with the formation of the club.
A second meeting was held in the New Hall, a mere four weeks later, to hear the report of the previously appointed committee. Mr Brown again occupied the chair and stated that two gardens could be had on a lease for 33 years at the feu-duty. The cost of making the green would be £75, besides carting, turf, mower, roller and etc., in all about £100. About £20 would be required yearly to keep the green in good condition.
The Committee proposed to raise the required capital by selling 300 shares at 10 shillings each (50p), each member would be required to buy at least one share on joining the club and the annual subscription was not to exceed 10 shillings if possible. The gentlemen present approved the report and the proposed selling of shares.
In July, 1887 the last sod of the new Bowling Green was laid and it was agreed that Kincardine was then upsides its neighbours in respect of a Bowling Green, which was also considered to be an ornament to the town.The opening of Tulliallan Bowling Green took place on Tuesday 9th August 1887. The green was officially opened by Lady Osborne Elphinstone who declared the green open by delivering a silver jack. The silver jack was presented back to the Club and was used as the Club Championship Trophy.
The silver jack was to remain the Championship Trophy for the next 100 years until Centenary Year when that years winner became the one hundreth name engraved on it. A new silver Jack was thrown by Mrs Janet Cummings, wife of the then President Matt Cummings, to mark the launch of the Club's centenary celebrations in 1987 and in subsequent years that jack has been presented to the Club Champion.
In 1883, prior to the formation of Tulliallan Bowling Club, the then Lord Advocate of Scotland John Blair Balfour expressed his willingness to present to the Bowling Clubs in the district a prize to be competed for annually. The Balfour Trophy is still played for in the County to this day.
In 1898, 10 years after Tulliallan first played in the competition the Club were victorious and were presented with a silver three-handled loving cup which was to be retained and is still on show in the Club trophy Cabinet. The names of the winning team are engraved on the trophy.
1904 saw transportation play a big part in a Tullillan fours attempt to win the Scottish Championship. Having won through to the final they found themseves 13 shots down with 5 ends to play, however concious of the need to catch the last train home they decided to concede the tie and settle for the runner-up spot. That rink was W.Blyth (later to become a Scottish Internationalist for 3 years) R.Blyth, W.Buchannan and C.A.Finlayson their prize for being Scottish Fours runners-up was £10, a princely sum in 1904.
1960 saw Tulliallan record their first success in the Scottish Championships when Archie Brown won the Scottish Singles.He was later picked to play for Scotland thus becoming only the second Tulliallan player to achieve national honours.
In 1965 the Fours made no mistake when they won the Scottish Fours Championship with A.Harper, R.Archibald, J.Craig and A.Gardner, their prize being a gold medals plus £20 vouchers.
Since 1965 Tulliallan has been fortunate in having their fair share of representatives at the Scottish Finals but have failed to emulate their peers.
Club members have had a modicum of success at County level the most recent being in 2002 when the Triples won the County Triples Championship.
1985 saw the building of the new club-house, as it is at present, the old club-house is now used as the locker and changing room.
