Scottish term for road bowling — a traditional folk sport in which players throw or roll heavy metal balls (bullets) along country roads, competing to cover a set course in the fewest throws. Road bowling is one of Ireland's and Scotland's oldest rural sports, with the ball flying at incredible speeds down winding country lanes while spectators bet on the outcome. 'Bulleting' captures the trajectory of those heavy metal shots and the whole boisterous, communal spirit of the game.
The whole village turned out on a Sunday afternoon to watch the bulleting match on the back road.
