Bothwell Castle

On 24 June 1314, Robert the Bruce, King of Scots, defeated the English Army of Edward II at the Battle of Bannockburn.

The very next day Edward Bruce, the king’s brother, arrived at Bothwell Castle to force the English commander Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford to surrender.

Today, the Historic Scotland re-enactors were staging the event. Well attended.
