Cot Castle is a medieval motte, likely built during the 12th or 13th century, reflecting the pattern of early feudal settlement and defense in lowland Scotland. Its importance lies in its contribution to understanding the regional distribution of motte-and-bailey castles during the post-Conquest period.
