Boghall Castle — Attraction in Scotland

During my visit to Boghall Castle near Biggar, I was captivated by its rich history and strategic location. Built in the 14th century by the Fleming family, the castle replaced an older motte-and-bailey structure and was strategically situated where the valleys of the River Tweed and River Clyde converge. This positioning offered natural defences, making it a formidable fortress of its time.

Walking among the ruins, I could almost hear the echoes of history. Notably, Edward II of England stayed here in 1310, and Mary, Queen of Scots, visited in 1565. The remnants of two D-shaped towers still stand, offering a glimpse into the castle's grandeur.

While the site is now in ruins, it's a must-visit for history enthusiasts. The surrounding landscape adds to the castle's charm, making it a peaceful spot to reflect on Scotland's storied past. Highly recommended for anyone interested in Scottish history...

You need the history of the place. Sadly there's not much to see now except for a couple of poorly maintained towers in...

Its bad for you...
