Jug

This earthenware jug was found at Bothwell Castle in Lanarkshire. It dates from the 13th or 14th century.

The green-glazed jug has a parrot-beak bridge spout and a lid.

Situated on the Clyde, Bothwell Castle was probably built in the second half of the 13th century and was an important fortress during the Wars of Independence. It has been called 'probably the greatest ruin of its kind in Scotland'.
