Bothwell

united kingdom

Bothwell sits on the Clyde between Glasgow and Hamilton, easily reached via Junction 5 of the M74 or the A725 from East Kilbride. The town serves as a convenient base for exploring central Scotland, with Glasgow just 15km away and Edinburgh about 70km east. Bothwell Castle, a magnificent 13th-century red sandstone fortress overlooking the river, remains one of Scotland's best-preserved medieval strongholds.
