More about this scene

Overlooking the Clyde to the north of the present town of Bothwell, the castle is still an impressive sight despite being a ruin. Following its slighting in 1337, Bothwell lay waste until 1362 when it was refortified. Excavations here have uncovered the largest assemblage of medieval pottery so far found on a single site. Some of it is of local manufacture, some of it English.

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

I lived at 13 Fallside Rd, and I remember as a child going up to the hotel window with other children to see these Americans celebrating Christmas, with a real Christmas tree. I think they missed their own families because I remember them coming and talking to us. My mother came and dragged me home with an American running after her, apologising to her and explaining that they mean'nt no harm. I left Bothwell in 1949 to emigrate to South australia
