More about this scene
The surviving inner half of the round donjon can be seen in the background. It stood 82 ft high, was 65 ft in diameter, and the walls were 15 ft thick. Bothwell was taken and retaken a number of times; in 1298-99 it was under siege for fourteen months before the Scots managed to take it, only to lose it again in 1301. It remained in English hands until the time of Bannockburn, when it surrendered to Edward Bruce.
