018.05 | "In 1153 & 1289, the old Scottish Kings held their courts at Cadzow Castle; which continued to be Royal property till after the Battle ofBannockburn. It stands in Hamilton Wood" (this wood is known as Avon Banks) "on the summit of a precipitous rock, the base of which is washed by the Avon. It is not known who were its founders, although it is probable that Caw or Cay was the first of the Royal Race who took up their residence in this quarter. The Castle of Cadzow seems to have been repaired at different periods. The Keep, with the fosse around it, a narrow-bridge on the south, over the fosse, & a well inside, are still in good preservation, & are all of polished stone of a reddish colour. Several vaults & the walls, probably of the Chapel, and their Offices are still visible." New Statistical Account. (Over |
