Bothwell Castle
An historic 13th century  Castle situated within Bothwell. The Castle contains a  small shop and you are allowed access to most areas. (Some areas are not accessible to wheel chair users)  Though don't allow this to stop you visiting. Access up to and within the ground level are good. The day I visited there was a display of Knights helmets, Shields and Swords.
