Great to visit - cycled here a few times. Couldn’t get the bike through easily so had to chain up for a wander round. Great walking connections to Bothwell etc

The ruined castle sits close to the town of Bothwell and is surrounded by woodland walks along the banks of the river Clyde,on a sunny day people lounge about on the grassy knolls surrounding the castle.Ruined it may be but an interesting feature to admire.Close by are shops where you could pick up a picnic if the weather allows.

Free to roam in the fields and grounds around but to be honest what you see walking round the outside is almost what you see inside. However, the small fee they charge to go inside is worth a look and it helps to go towards conservation, which is in dire need of here. Think this place is crumbling fast and needs urgent attention.

Thank you for visiting and taking the time to leave us a review. There are areas of the castle currently closed to allow for conservation works to take place, and the admission prices have been reduced to reflect this while it continues. We hope you enjoyed the history of the castle, and thank you for visiting as your entry fee does go towards the conservation of the castle as you have mentioned.

If you like history then your mind will run wild walking through these ruins. On arriving I was blown away with how big and powerful the castle still looked! It just commands attention to this day. Unfortunately on the day I was there there was work being carried out so there was a couple of areas I couldn’t get into which I would have loved to have seen! Definitely worth a visit though and so glad I went to see it! Even my teenage daughter who I dragged along was in awe (even though she tried not to show it)

Heading north Bothwell Castle was on my list of places to visit as I traced Edward I's journey into Scotland. It was an enjoyable visit, it was a bit limited however due to the construction/repair works (there is a discounted entry while the major works are going on). The staff member was helpful and it was good to see the round tower. A short visit, I will have to return one day to see the rest of the castle!
