Bothwellhaugh is a Roman auxiliary fort located on the Clyde valley floor near Strathclyde in Lanarkshire, Scotland. The fort was established during the Roman occupation of Scotland, likely in the late first century AD, as part of the military infrastructure supporting Rome's northward expansion under governors such as Agricola and his successors. The site occupies a strategic position controlling movement along the river valley and represents the frontier of Roman control in this region. Archaeological investigation has revealed the characteristic layout of a Roman fort with defensive ditches, though substantial remains are no longer visible above ground.
