Bothwell Castle is a large medieval castle sited on a high steep bank above a bend in the River Clyde in South Lanarkshire Scotland. It is located between Bothwell and Uddingston about 10 miles (16 km) south-east of Glasgow. Construction of the castle was begun in the 13th century by the ancestors of Clan Murray to guard a strategic crossing point of the Clyde. Bothwell played a key role in Scotland’s Wars of Independence changing hands several times.
