Save this place
A motte-and-bailey castle once stood here — today it survives as earthworks in South Lanarkshire. It is the only motte-and-bailey castle the Albion Guide charts in the county. The site is in the care of Historic Environment Scotland.
Boghall Castle, Biggar and Covington are among the castles within 5.6 km. The closest station is Carstairs, 11.3 km to the north-west.
