You're standing at Bothwell Castle, high on a steep bank above a bend in the River Clyde. It sits between Bothwell and Uddingston, about ten miles south-east of Glasgow. That spot was chosen for a reason. There was an important crossing over the river here, and whoever held this castle controlled it.
