Bothwell Castle Cricket Ground is a cricket ground in Uddingston, Scotland, and is named after the nearby Bothwell Castle. The first recorded match held on the ground came in 1902 when Uddingston played a friendly against Gloucestershire.[1] 110 years later the ground held its first List A match when Scotland played Glamorgan in the 2012 Clydesdale Bank 40. A further List A match was held there in that same competition, with Hampshire the visitors.[2] Bothwell Castle was given these games due to damage caused by vandalism at Mannofield Park in Aberdeen, which was originally to host the two matches.[3]

The ground is still used by Uddingston Cricket Club.[4]
