Cadzow Castle, Hamilton,
Cadzow Castle, now in ruins, was constructed between 1500 and 1550 on the site of an earlier royal castle, in Hamilton, Scotland. It was built by Sir James Hamilton of Finnart for his half brother, the second Earl of Arran.
The castle sits above a gorge overlooking the Avon Water in what is now Chatelherault Country Park, previously known as Cadzow Oaks, the hunting and pleasure grounds of the Duke of Hamilton's estate of Hamilton Palace.
At present, only the exterior of the castle can be viewed. A number of the original walls still stand, though many are overgrown by grasses and vines.
