Boghall Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Biggar, Scotland.

The castle features foundations of two D-shaped towers and remnants of fortified walls at the convergence of the Tweed and Clyde valleys.

Edward II of England resided at the castle in 1310, while Mary Queen of Scots visited the fortress during her journey in 1565.

The Fleming family, descendants of Norman knight Erkenbald Flandrensis, constructed this stronghold in the 14th century to replace an earlier defensive structure.

Visitors can examine the surviving north-west tower and stair tower sections, with a model display at the Moat Park Heritage Centre in Biggar.

The castle incorporated water-filled moats and marshy surroundings as natural defenses, requiring a stone bridge for access through its gatehouse.
