Description:

The ruins of Crawford Castle are located on the north bank of the River Clyde, around half a mile north of Crawford, South Lanarkshire, Scotland. The sad remains stand on an earlier motte and bailey earthwork and was  formerly known as Lindsay Tower, after its former owners, the Lindsay family. The strategic location of the castle, guards the approach from England into the upper Clyde Valley. Despite its ruinous state, this is a fabulous castle to explore, with many interesting features still easy to identify in its overgrown state. Getting to the castle you will cross the river from the village where you will be able to see it located on the opposite bank.
