The History of Bowmore

Bowmore was an earlier name for the village of Duntroon, Ontario, in reference to the administrative capital of the Isle of Islay, Scotland, from which many of the first European settlers came in the early 1800’s. Bowmore (Scotland) is famous for its scotch whiskey distillery of the same name, and is home to The Bowmore Round Church, reputedly so shaped in order that the Devil could not hide in the corners. The name Duntroon, applied to the village in the last half of the 1800’s, was derived from Duntrune Castle, 60km to the north-east of Bowmore, the longest continuously inhabited castle in Scotland, dating to the 12th Century and home to the ghost of a handless bagpiper.

The Duntroon Hall! 

The Duntroon Hall is a former military drill hall from Base Borden that was disassembled and reconstructed on the current site. The Duntroon Hall’s walls still reverberate with the great sounds of square dances, buck-and-does, weddings, family reunions, bowling parties, concerts and trivia nights.
