Crawford Castle
Crawford Castle (also called Lindsay Tower) is a medieval motte-and-bailey castle on the north bank of the River Clyde in South Lanarkshire, Scotland. Substantial remains of stone walls and a tower-range survive on a roughly 5 m high motte, and the site was extensively rebuilt in the 17th century before later falling into ruin.

As it stood in 1648
The shape it held in its prime.
Perched on a roughly 5 m high motte, the castle is defined by a square stone enclosure about 20 m across with fragments of curtain wall and traces suggesting round corner towers. A three-storey, tower-like range with attic stands on the south-west side, with a projecting chimney-breast and vaulted basement; a later 17th-century south-east range has larger window openings. A prominent arched recess breaks the east wall where a single-storey projection stood. The ruins are built of grey-brown rubble masonry and sit among mature trees above the river valley.
