Ten-pin bowling operator Bowlplex has opened its 16th site, within the new Xscape leisure complex in Braehead, near Glasgow.

The site – which boasts 22 lanes of bowling as well as the company’s Stadium Sports Bar, American Pool Pit and Video World sub-brands – is Bowlplex’s second in Scotland, following the opening of a centre in Dunfermline at the end of 2005.

The new centre was unveiled by Bowlplex managing director Tracy Standish alongside Pop Idol star Darius Danesh and Xscape’s chief executive PY Gerbeau.

The Xscape complex also includes two ski slopes, a multiplex Odeon cinema, climbing walls, an aerial assault course and a number of restaurants and bars.
