George Adrain is a former Scottish lawn bowler, born on 12 April 1953.

George is from a famous bowling family, his father (Willie) and uncle also called (Willie) were both Scottish internationals. George won the Scottish Triples in 1974 and British Triples in 1975. His biggest achievement came in the 1984 World Outdoor Championships in Aberdeen but bizarrely it was representing the United States. Jim Candelet fell ill during the competition leaving Skippy Arculli without a partner so Adrain the Scottish reserve took his place and the pair went on to win the Gold Medal. He did win medals for Scotland however when he partnered Grant Knox to win the Pairs Gold at the 1986 Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh and was part of the Triples team that took Gold at the 1996 World Outdoor Championships. His clubs were the Dreghorn (Outdoors) and Irvine (Indoors).[1]
