This was a work trip and stayed in the Bothwell Bridge Hotel ,nice enough hotel, the rooms could have possibly done with a bit of refurbishment but the interior was OK if a little gaudy, great breakfast though(all you can eat buffet).
Had a meal at the RIVA Italian restaurant which was extremely good, I had Pollo Scozzese which was chicken supreme stuffed with haggis in a whisky sauce, Tres Bien.
Also had a drink in the nearby Douglas Arms which was friendly enough,if a little quiet (it was a Tuesday night).
What stood out in Bothwell was the massive church which was built in 1397/8 and has been compared to the famous Rosslyn chapel.
Bothwell is home to a number of Old Firm footballers, Gordon Strachan the Celtic Manager also resides there
.
On the drive back to York, visited what is possibly the nicest services in Britain at Annanadale Water nr Lockerbie (just check out the picture above).
There is supposed to be a castle in Bothwell but never saw it, would have made an effort to find it if I`d known.
