The article offers information on the architectural design of the Bothwell Castle in the Clyde valley, in Scotland. The Bothwell Castle is considered the grandest piece of medieval secular architecture in the area. The castle's building history can be divided into four historical phases. The earliest work recorded was after 1241 when the properties of Bothwell were purchased by Walter de Moray. A cylindrical donjon was built and designed to form part of a pentagonal courtyard layout. The fifteenth- and sixteenth-century phase focused on domestic changes. In 1669, the castle became both a quarry and a terminal vista for a house erected on the higher ground to the east. |
