Bow Castle is a Iron Age broch situated approximately one kilometre east of the settlement of Bow in Midlothian, Scotland. The structure dates to the Iron Age period, representing one of Scotland's distinctive circular stone defensive towers characteristic of the first centuries BC and AD. The broch would originally have comprised a double-walled circular construction with an internal chamber, though its present condition reflects the substantial stone robbing and degradation typical of many such monuments in the Lowlands. This site is recorded in the Historic Environment Scotland database under the reference SM1162, securing its recognition as a scheduled monument of archaeological significance.
