Details
Cadzow Castle, in ruins now, shows the influence of artillery warfare in the late medieval period. It was built by the powerful Hamilton family, above their stronghold in the valley. There aren’t many historical references to the site but architectural features like its ‘dumb-bell’ and ‘wide-mouthed’ gun loops place construction between 1475 and 1550.
Due to its ruined state, only the exterior of Cadzow Castle can be viewed. Dogs, on lead, are permitted on the grounds and must be attended to at all times.
