David Peacock, Darren Burnett and Graeme Archer (pictured top) triumphed in the men's triples with a 13-12 win over Australia to give the Scots three gold and three bronze medals.

It put them second in the overall medal table behind Australia.

The victory in the men's triples gave Peacock his third successive triples world title and the team said they were delighted.

"It's always been my ambition to win a world title," said Archer.

"To come to here, play against Australia and win is pretty special.

"I'm delighted for myself and the whole Scotland team, we've had a phenomenal tournament."

Peacock, Burnett and Archer beat an Australian trio of Wayne Ruediger, Brett Wilkie and Mark Casey and despite the hosts only scoring on five of the fifteen ends, the result still came down to the wire, with the Scottish team winning by the narrowest of margins.

Archer smashed the jack into the ditch on the final end and Casey's final bullet ended millimetres short.

Earlier in the week Paul Foster and Alex Marshall won the pairs again defeating hosts Australia.

It meant they became the first duo to hold the indoor and outdoor titles in the same year, having already won the PBA Indoor Pairs Championship.

Later in week Scotland's Michelle Cooper, Lynn Stein, Caroline Brown and Margaret Letham secured the women's fours crown after beating Malaysia in the final.

It comes ahead of the 2014 Commonwealth Games lawn bowls competition, which will be held at the Kelvingrove Lawn Bowls Centre (pictured above).

Over a period of two years, from 2010 to 2011, the facility was upgraded to international standard with the reconstruction of five bowling greens.

At Glasgow 2012, 2,500 temporary seats will be installed.
