Crawford Castle is a 16th-century tower house located in Crawford, South Lanarkshire, Scotland. The castle stands on a rocky outcrop overlooking the River Clyde and features a rectangular tower with a rounded corner tower. The castle's architecture is a mix of medieval and Renaissance styles, with crow-stepped gables and a corbelled parapet. The castle has undergone several restorations and renovations over the centuries, with the most significant being in the 19th century. Today, the castle is a private residence and is not open to the public.
The castle ruins are inside of a fenced pasture. However, if you ask the people in the house next door, they will let you into the field to take photos.
A magical place. My flatmate wanted to go as it was her ancestors home many years past (not the castle but the village). The castle is remote and ruined but there is still enough of it standing for it to be very worthwhile visiting. And it is just the castle, no intrusive signs or modern additions which gives a special quality missing from some such places.
A wonderful experience for me. Highly recommend a stop if you can. It is in ruins, not to bad for the age.
Very limited parking and a small walk to the castle. Lovely views of the hills and river as well.
Beautiful village and the Clyde is lovely. We could find no one to ask, so we jumped the fence. We took nothing and would have put a PS 5 note in a box if the owner had put one out. #wearecrawfords
An interesting little ruin... No information about the castle at the site and very little parking but still worth a visit.
