In light of updated Scottish Government advice regarding Coronavirus (COVID-19), we have taken the decision to close public access to our staffed properties and offices until further notice.
Located in a beautiful setting overlooking the River Clyde, part of the original circular keep of Bothwell Castle survives.
Find out about medieval Scotland by exploring the 13th century prison tower and the 14th century great hall and chapel.
The castle courtyard and display boards are fully accessible. Although uneven in places, all grounds surrounding the castle allow wheelchair access. The castle shop is also suitable for wheelchairs.
Parking is 200 m away, but visitors with disabilities can be dropped off outside the castle.
Very occasionally the property has to close at short notice due to adverse weather conditions or other reasons out with our control. Please check the Historic Scotland closures page for any unexpected site closures https://www.historicenvironment.scot/visit-a-place/check-for-closures/. You can also follow closure tweets from @welovehistory using #hsclosure. Alternatively please call the site before setting off to check they are open.
