Bothwell Castle 


High above the banks of the River Clyde stand the vast ruins of Bothwell Castle with its towers and curtain walls. This 13th C stronghold serves as a monument to the skills of Scottish fortress builders. The sandstone walls which came under fierce attack during the Wars of Independence are 16ft/5m thick in places.
