Jug

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

The jug has a pinched spout, a strap handle and a spotted olive-green glaze.

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'.
