Bedlay Castle, Tower house in North Lanarkshire, Scotland.
The castle stands on a volcanic crag above Bothlyn Burn, featuring two vaulted cellars on the ground floor and round towers at western corners.
Robert Boyd, the 4th Lord Boyd of Kilmarnock, constructed the original castle in the 16th century, and the Robertons extended it until 1786.
The structure represents Scottish defensive architecture with its thick stone walls, crenellated parapets, and strategic positioning above the surrounding landscape.
Located between Chryston and Moodiesburn, approximately 8 miles northeast of Glasgow, the castle remains a private residence not open for regular visits.
The castle incorporates architectural elements from multiple periods, including a simple two-storey tower house and later 17th-century round tower additions.
