Jug

This earthenware jug is from Bothwell Castle in Lanarkshire. It dates from the 15th or 16th century.

The plain lead-glazed jug is badly finished.

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'.
