land (residential)Allanshaw Gardens, Hamilton, ML3 8NU

The town took its name in 14th century from the Hamilton family, to whom it was given by Robert 'The Bruce' after the Battle of Bannockburn. Lord Hamilton achieved the status of knighthood & he inherited his father's estates. Alexander, the 10th Duke of Hamilton displayed his wealth in many ways & none so more than in the form of building himself a chapel and family crypt in his back garden. The mausoleum was so grand, & it covered such a large area located in the heart of The Palace Grounds. Like many towns in Scotland,Hamilton had its very own tolbooth in the mid 1600's. It was erected in the reign of Charles the First, it was so grand that some thought it was a church. The Tolbooth acted as the most important building in the burgh as it was the council chamber, courthouse & jail. The Tolbooth was later earmarked in the 1800's to be installed as a Municipal Building now known as The Hamilton Town House & Library! In 1791 Hamilton Parish had just over 5000 residents but within 100 years that figure had increased by to more than 35,000 due to the cotton and coal industry booms and the opening of the Caledonian Central Railway Station.
