What is recorded here
Bothwell Castle Golf Course occupies Blantyre Road in South Lanarkshire, a green fold where the castle's old shadow still falls across fairways. The exact boundary remains unrecorded, but the course itself is clear: a place shaped for walking, swinging and watching light move over water.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Bothwell, Blantyre Road, Bothwell Castle Golf Course as Golf Course (period Unassigned).

Bothwell Castle, near Blantyre Road, was originally built in the late 13th century by the Douglas family, a powerful noble house in medieval Scotland. It is remembered for its strategic importance in Scottish history, particularly due to the marriage of Mary, Queen of Scots, to Lord Darnley, which took place there in 1565.
