Bothwell Castle is one of the most impressive and best-preserved medieval castle ruins in Scotland.
Unfortunately, it was closed during our visit, so we could only take a walk around the grounds.
The castle is picturesquely situated on the banks of the River Clyde in the South Lanarkshire region.
Its history dates back to the 13th century, when it was founded in 1240 by Walter of Moray, a powerful Scottish nobleman.
The castle played a central role in the Scottish Wars of Independence and was the site of numerous sieges and battles.
It is particularly famous for its connection to the conflicts between the Scots and the English during the reign of King Edward I of England.
