Tarbolton Bailey From The Motte
The Motte at Tarbolton was set at the rear left-hand side of the Bailey. In this view, the foreground shows the edge of the Motte, where the lord's home would have been sited. Beyond this is a flat area with a rounded outline, which was the Bailey. This would have been the location of essential services for the house or tower on the Motte. Beyond the Bailey, the ground slopes away steeply to the current B744, tucked away out of sight in this view.

This is the first view of the 12th century Motte at Tarbolton, approached from the access road for new houses at the end of Garden Street. The B744 makes a sharp detour round the other side of the site.

Tarbolton Motte From The Bailey
The 12th century Motte at Tarbolton was surrounded on 3 sides by a Bailey. In this view, the sloping edge of the Motte is seen from the flat platform that was the Bailey. The Motte was the site of a wooden house or tower, which would be the home of the local lord. The Bailey was a surrounding base court containing the necessary services, such as stables, kitchens and workshops. Tarbolton Bailey would have been protected by a timber fence, combined with the naturally steep slope on 3 sides. (Source: The Castles of South-West Scotland", by Mike Salter)
