Bothwell Castle |
7
miles south-east of Glasgow, off B7071
One of the most important Scottish strongholds,dominated by the great
13th century tower. The castle played an important part in Scotland's
bid for independence, attacked and changing hands on numerous occasions
during the 13th and 14th centuries. Now, apart from the 13th century
great tower, the buildings date from the 14th and 15th centuries.
Although derelict, the towers still standing give an idea of the castle's
strong presence and importance. more
