Bothwell Castle

This site is closed for now. We’re working hard to gradually reopen the places you love while making sure the experience is safe for everyone. Bothwell Castle is the largest and finest 13th century stone castle in Scotland, much fought over during the Wars of Independence. Located in a beautiful setting overlooking the River Clyde, part of the original circular keep of Bothwell Castle survives. Find out about medieval Scotland by exploring the 13th century prison tower and the 14th century great hall and chapel.

Visited here and we were happy to wander round the ruin. We will come back once the building has opened as it would be interesting to see inside for the small £3 price tag. We then walked along the Clyde to the David Livingstone Centre. It was a really lovely walk very close to the city.
