- Located in South Lanarkshire, and around 10 miles southeast of Glasgow, is the town of Hamilton.
Geographically, Hamilton is situated in the central Lowlands of Scotland on the south bank of the River Clyde at its confluence with the Avon Water. It is the historical county town of Lanarkshire.
Originally, Hamilton was known as 'Cadzow', derived from the Celtic word 'Cadihou', the name of the 6th century summer hunting lodge of Rederech, ruler of the ancient Kingdom of Strathclyde. During the 12th century the area was created a Royal Barony by David I and under the rule of Robert the Bruce, was given to Walter FitzGilbert of Hameldone in Northumberland.
Walter's descendant Sir James Hamilton married Mary Stewart, the sister of James III, and was created Lord Hamilton. In 1445 a charter was granted from James II to the first Lord Hamilton, from which point on the town was renamed to Hamilton. It became a Royal Burgh in the 1540s.
The 19th century saw a surge in population in Hamilton with the emergence of the cotton and coal industry in the town. By the 1840s the Hamilton Branch of Caledonian Railway was completed. This allowed for transportation of goods out of the town, and with it, further growth. Caledonian Railway itself would later become the northern section of what we now know as the West Coast Main Line from London Euston to Glasgow Central.
Renowned explorer and missionary Dr. David Livingstone lived in the town for a brief period. He was awarded the Freedom of the Town of Hamilton. After his death in Africa he became a posthumous national hero due to his work towards abolition of the African slave trade.
Hamilton is represented in sport by Hamilton Academical Football Club. They were founded in 1874 from the school football team at Hamilton Academy. They are the only existing professional club in British football to have originated from a school team.

Ample, quality paving, yet no trees in sight. Trees make our towns and cities beautiful and enjoyable.
