Bothwell Castle is the largest and finest 13th century stone castle in Scotland, much fought over during the Wars of Independence. It is just a 5 minute walk from my brother's house, and we took a walk about 9 oclock one evening just as the sun was setting.
It is free to walk around, and you can continue your walk along the footpath following the River Clyde.

| The first view from the car park |
 |
| Following a steep track towards the river, the next view is looking upwards, and through the grass seedheads |
 |
| Native cowparsleys on the bank too looking lovely |
 |
| The sun now gone, but the wispy clouds take on the final glow |
 |
| The tall verticle Purple Loosestrife add foreground interest |
 |
| Reaching the riverbank, where the drama is the sky is reflected. |
