What is recorded here

Cadzow Castle (ruin) stands in South Lanarkshire, Scotland, reduced to a ghost of its former shape. The land may have swallowed the walls, but the name still marks the spot where stone once defied the sky. Forgetting is the natural end of most castle building; remembering is the rare act that returns them to life.

Cadzow Castle (ruin) is shown as a castle on the public map of South Lanarkshire. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.

Cadzow Castle was built by the Douglas family in the 13th century and later held by the Maxwells. It is remembered for its strategic importance in the border conflicts between Scotland and England during the medieval period.
