John Watson is a former Scottish lawn and indoor bowler, born on 22 November 1945, who competed at the Commonwealth Games. He first came to prominence in 1975 by winning the Scottish indoor junior singles title, and three years later he beat Jim Blake in the Scottish national singles final. He won his first international indoor cap for Scotland in 1979. In 1982 he won the World Indoor Bowls Championship, but he declined the prize money so that he could remain eligible to compete at the 1982 Commonwealth Games in Brisbane, Australia. The decision paid off, because he won the pairs gold medal there for the Scottish team, playing alongside David Gourlay Sr.
