Bothwell Parish Church

Bothwell Parish Church is the oldest Collegiate Church in Scotland in which worship is still held and is known as the "Cathedral of Lanarkshire". It is one of the most historic, architecturally beautiful and worshipful "A"-listed church buildings in Scotland.

We are a mainstream congregation of the national Church of Scotland comprised of men, women and young people of all ages and circumstance. As a congregation, we are very much aware of the privilege and responsibility which is ours inheriting such a place and, so, we are proud that our church is a church for everyone, whether they come to worship, learn or, simple, admire.

Apart from its obvious use as a centre of Christian worship, the building is much used for secular purposes. Concerts, recitals and exhibitions are regular features held by groups within the local community and beyond. The church has a strong relationship with South Lanarkshire Education Department and offers schools, both denominational and non-denominational, various tours/talks to meet their curriculum programmes. During summer, the church is open to the public. Tour guides are available each weekday and welcome visitors from throughout the world.
