Old Photographs Hamilton South Lanarkshire Scotland
Tour Scotland wee video of old photographs of Hamilton, a town in South Lanarkshire, in the central Lowlands. This is the fifth largest Scottish town, excluding cities, after Paisley, East Kilbride, Livingston and Cumbernauld. The town of Hamilton was originally known as Cadzow. Cadzow was renamed Hamilton in the time of James, Lord Hamilton, who was married to Princess Mary, the daughter of King James II. Hamilton is twinned with Châtellerault in France. This connection dates from the 16th century when the title Duc de Châtellerault was conferred on James Hamilton, 2nd Earl of Arran. Hamilton has three railway stations, Hamilton Central, Hamilton West and Chatelherault on the Argyle Line's Hamilton Circle. Hamilton Central is 22 minutes from Glasgow on the limited stop Larkhall Dalmuir service. It was once served by the North British Railway, which had three stations in the area. Hamilton, Peacock Cross railway station and Burnbank. Beside Hamilton Central lies Hamilton bus station, providing links to surrounding towns and cities, also offering an express bus to Glasgow and also some parts of England. Cycling paths run from Strathclyde Park to Chatelherault Country Park following the banks of the Clyde and Avon. These are being expanded at part of the Sustrans Connect2 project and will make up part of the National Cycle Route 74 which will run from Uddingston to Carlisle, Cumbria.
