Corra Castle, 16th century castle ruins in Lesmahagow, Scotland
The castle structure sits atop steep cliffs near the Falls of Clyde, surrounded by natural defenses on three sides of the fortification point.
Built in 1572, Corra Castle served as a residence for members of the Somerville family before falling into disrepair over subsequent centuries.
The Scottish Wildlife Trust maintains this scheduled monument, which received official protection status on June 30, 1967 under national preservation laws.
Visitors need permission from Historic Environment Scotland before conducting any modifications or repairs to the castle structure or surrounding grounds.
The castle incorporates a ha-ha design feature that creates an uninterrupted view of the Scottish countryside while maintaining defensive capabilities.
