Bothwell Castle was originally built in the late 13th century. It has been demolished and rebuilt after sieges and at various other times during its existence. The DoE have put the remains in a good state of repair, and the castle is fully described, planned and illustrated in the by Simpson (1958).

It was in a similar condition when visited in 1953 by OS (JLD). A collection of material from the castle is in the National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland (NMAS).
