Bothwell Castle

TOP DOG-FRIENDLY THING TO DO • GLASGOW

Head to Bothwell to explore this 12th-century marvel - a place of great significance in the Wars of Scottish Independence.

Dogs are welcomed anywhere that isn't under a roof, meaning you can both take in the grandeur of the ruined castle and enjoy the wider surroundings.

In fact, with the right planning, you could a trip here with a walk along the meandering River Clyde for a fuller day out.

BEST BITS
  • One of Scotland’s most impressive medieval strongholds
  • Lovely adjacent woodland
  • Beautiful flowers around at Springtime
