Couthally Castle is a ruined stronghold located near Carnwath in South Lanarkshire, Scotland. The castle dates from the medieval period, though the precise construction date remains uncertain from surviving evidence. It comprises the remains of a substantial stone structure that would have served as a fortified residence for a local landholding family. The site's fragmentary state reflects centuries of abandonment and deterioration, though its location in the fertile Clyde Valley indicates its former strategic and economic importance to the region's medieval landowners.
