Places - Lost in Time: Hamilton Palace
Hello, and welcome back to Places - Lost in Time, a series that looks back on the tale of places and locations that have existing within living memory or photographic record, but are now lost to the pages of history.
This week we move north of the border to Scotland, where, in one of the most tragic losses for British architectural history, we take a glimpse at Hamilton Palace, and by extension the incredibly convoluted history of the Hamilton family itself, as the fate of this influential peerage in UK politics was directly intertwined with the manner in which the opulent palace would evolve, going from its strength as the stately home of the established gentry, only for the move away from a feudal system to result in it falling into decline alongside the presence of the landowners.

Clan Hamilton
Welcome back to another episode of A Clan A Day Podcast, brought to you by bagtownclans.com. I'm your host, Colin MacDonald, and today, we dive into the illustrious history of Clan Hamilton—a family that, at one time, was so powerful they were considered heirs to the Scottish throne. The Hamiltons’ ambitions, intrigues, and connections to royalty are woven deeply into the fabric of Scottish history, making them one of the most fascinating clans of the Lowlands.
The origins of the Hamiltons take us back to the Norman conquest and the medieval power struggles of both England and Scotland. The family’s name is believed to be English in origin, with many places called Hameltun or Hambledon. The first documented appearance of the Hamilton name in Scotland was in 1296 when Walter Fitzgilbert d...

The Scottish Clan Hamilton is one of the most prominent and historic clans in Scotland, with a fascinating history that spans back over seven centuries. The clan takes its name from the town of Hamilton in South Lanarkshire, which was the ancestral home of the family.
The early history of the Clan Hamilton can be traced back to the 13th century, with the arrival of Walter Fitz Gilbert of Hambledon, who was believed to be a Norman and appears in a charter to the Monastery of Paisley around 1294. His lands were in Renfrewshire, but he was later rewarded with lands in Lanarkshire and the Lothians for his support of Robert the Bruce.
The Hamilton family continued to prosper, and in 1474, James Hamilton, the first Lord Hamilton, married Princess Mary, daughter of James III, making their children in line for the throne. The second Earl of Arran, who was the heir to the throne of both James IV and Mary, Queen of Scots, was appointed Regent of Scotland while the queen was still a child. He proposed to marry his son to Mary, but the match did not take place, and Mary married the heir to the French throne instead.
Despite these setbacks, the Hamilton family continued to play a prominent role in Scottish politics. The fourth Earl of Arran and third Duke of Chatelherault became Chancellor of Scotland and keeper of both the strategic Castles of Edinburgh and Stirling. In 1643, Hamilton was rewarded by Charles I with a Scottish dukedom, making him the premier peer of Scotland. However, his army was defeated at Preston in 1648, and he was beheaded at Whitehall in 1649.
The title passed to Anne, the daughter of the first Duke, who was a woman of great intellect and determination. She inherited the title and estates heavily burdened by debts, but she set out to reestablish the family seat, laying the foundations for the building of a great palace. Her son, the fourth duke, met his death in a duel in London in 1712, but the fifth and sixth Dukes extended the palace and built the splendid Hunting lodge named Chatelherault, now part of a public park.
Alexander, the tenth Duke, completed the enlargement of Hamilton Place and adorned it with spectacular works of art collected from all over the world. He was nicknamed ‘IL Magnifico’ and lived in truly regal style. He crowned his royal ambitions by marrying his son, William, to Princess Marie of Baden, a cousin of Napoleon III.

Welcome back to another episode of A Clan A Day Podcast, brought to you by bagtownclans.com. I'm your host, Colin MacDonald, and today, we dive into the illustrious history of Clan Hamilton—a family that, at one time, was so powerful they were considered heirs to the Scottish throne. The Hamiltons’ ambitions, intrigues, and connections to royalty are woven deeply into the fabric of Scottish history, making them one of the most fascinating clans of the Lowlands.
The origins of the Hamiltons take us back to the Norman conquest and the medieval power struggles of both England and Scotland. The family’s name is believed to be English in origin, with many places called Hameltun or Hambledon. The first documented appearance of the Hamilton name in Scotland was in 1296 when Walter Fitzgilbert de Hameldone, a Norman knight, pledged his allegiance to Edward I of England. This initial alignment with the English crown was short-lived, as the family would soon shift their loyalties during one of Scotland’s most critical periods: the Wars of Independence.
Walter Fitzgilbert played a key role in this pivotal time. Originally serving the English, Fitzgilbert made a strategic decision to support Robert the Bruce, a move that would define the future of the Hamilton family. As a reward for his loyalty, Bruce granted him lands, including the Barony of Cadzow in Lanarkshire, which would eventually become the town of Hamilton. This marked the beginning of the family’s rise to prominence in Scotland.
Over the next century, the Hamiltons entrenched themselves within the Scottish nobility through military service and royal marriages. Sir David Hamilton, Walter’s son, continued the family’s legacy by fighting for King David II at the Battle of Neville’s Cross in 1346, where both he and the king were captured. They were only released after a significant ransom was paid, a testament to the Hamiltons’ importance at the time.
One of the most significant milestones for the clan came in 1474 when James, the 1st Lord Hamilton, married Princess Mary, daughter of King James II. This union cemented the Hamiltons’ place at the center of Scottish politics. Their son, James Hamilton, became the 1st Earl of Arran in 1503, setting the stage for the family’s involvement in the highest echelons of power. By the mid-16th century, the Hamiltons were poised to inherit the Scottish throne. James, the 2nd Earl of Arran, served as regent for the young Mary, Queen of Scots, and was at one point the heir apparent to the Scottish crown, a position that made the family a major political force.
However, the tides of fortune would soon turn, as political rivalries and the shifting alliances of the Reformation-era Scotland took their toll. The Hamiltons had supported Mary, Queen of Scots, through her turbulent reign, including James Hamilton of Bothwellhaugh’s infamous assassination of James Stewart, 1st Earl of Moray, who was Mary's regent and a staunch Protestant. This act of loyalty to the Queen cemented the Hamiltons’ place as champions of the Catholic cause, but it also led to tensions with the Protestant factions gaining influence in Scotland.
The Hamiltons’ fortune, however, wasn’t solely built on their military and political prowess. Through marriage alliances, the family continued to expand their influence. James, the 3rd Marquess of Hamilton, was elevated to the rank of Duke of Hamilton in 1643 by King Charles I, in recognition of his unwavering support during the English Civil War. The Hamiltons had long been loyal to the Scottish Crown, but this loyalty extended to the royalist cause in England as well, illustrating the family’s far-reaching influence. Unfortunately, this loyalty came at a great cost. James Hamilton led a royalist army into England but was defeated at the Battle of Preston in 1648. A year later, he was executed, shortly before King Charles I met the same fate.
The ducal title passed to James’ daughter, Anne, the 3rd Duchess of Hamilton, a woman of formidable intellect who took on the immense task of managing a family estate burdened by debts and legal challenges. She married William Douglas, the 1st Earl of Selkirk, and their son, the 4th Duke of Hamilton, continued the family’s proud tradition of nobility. The 4th Duke gained fame for his opposition to the Act of Union in 1707, which unified the Scottish and English parliaments—a stance that won him great popularity among many Scots. However, his life ended in tragedy when he was killed in a duel in London in 1712.
While some members of the family flirted with Jacobite sentiments during the 18th century, none of the Hamiltons took part in the uprisings to restore the Stuart monarchy. Instead, they solidified their status as one of Scotland's premier noble families, navigating the turbulent political landscape of the time with skill and caution. Their steadfast refusal to openly rebel likely contributed to their survival and continued influence throughout the 18th...

MAINSTREAM NEWS MEDIA EXTRACTS: I
British Royal Family well seasoned commentators are known to have remarked that the genesis of the Gerald 6th Duke of Sutherland identity theft case lies in the forging of the birth certificate which effectively brought about a wide cadre of public figures who took advantage following the death of his mother and father respectively HRH The Princess Marina Duchess of Kent and George 5th Duke of Sutherland later HRH Prince Edward Duke of Windsor and Sir Winston S. Churchill both godfathers to Gerald 6th Duke of Sutherland during the formative years.
MAINSTREAM NEWS MEDIA EXTRACTS: II
The Carroll Foundation Trust and parallel Gerald 6th Duke of Sutherland Trust multi-billion dollar corporate identity theft liquidation bank fraud bribery case has revealed that the world renowned eclectic Carroll Art Collection Trust which managed more than ten thousand items of fine art at various display locations throughout the world has been named as a “primary victim” in this case of international importance.
Sources have revealed that the former Surveyor of the Queen’s Works of Art Sir Hugh Roberts has been named as an “expert witness” surrounding the George 5th Duke of Sutherland Trust estate interests “centred around” the Duke of Sutherland Art Collection Trust the Bridgewater Art Collection Trust and the Carroll Art Collection Trust.
It is public knowledge that Sir Hugh Roberts prior to his current position was a director of the Christie’s fine art auction house and along with the Sotheby’s fine art experts acquisition and sale advice was provided to George 5th Duke of Sutherland and the Carroll Art Collection Trust for many years.
Further sources have disclosed that the combined collections were the subject of a systematic fraudulent break-up theft and multiple seizure offences spanning more than a bizarre fifty years executed by a bewildering array of City of London law firms “centred around” Taylor Wessing Withersworldwide Constantine Cannon Slaughter & May Clifford Chance Penningtons Manches Cooper Dentons RWK Goodman Charles Freshfields Russell Speechlys and the King’s lawyers Farrer & Co “central actors” in the much wider corporate identity liquidation bank fraud heist which stretches the globe.
Scotland Yard leaked sources have said that the entire contents of Gerald Carroll’s multi-million dollar Eaton Square Belgravia penthouse and Westminster residences in central London were “stolen” including the theft of priceless US Anglo-Irish Scottish Russian national treasures collections which included rare illuminated manuscripts dating from the thirteenth century.
This source also confirmed that the world renowned Carroll Chair of Irish History attached to Hertford College Oxford University and the Carroll Institute academic research establishment have also been the “target” of the FBI Scotland Yard “named” Withersworldwide RWK Goodman and Slaughter & May law firms trans-national crime syndicate which continues to operate in the tax havens of the Bahamas Gibraltar and the City of London with impunity.
It has emerged that the Hugh 7th Duke of Westminster lawyers Boodle Hatfield executed forged and falsified lease documentation of the Belgravia residence to effectively impulse the seizure of the property and trigger the co-ordinated break-ins burglaries and theft offences concerning the Carroll Institute archival records “centred around” one of the finest collections of Irish books manuscripts in private ownership in the world.
It is known that voice transcripts of the meetings with Scotland Yard have named a spectrum of the the “high value crime scene” locations which include Alban Shipping secure storage Luton Bedfordshire Red Storage Dartford Kent Five Oaks Lane Hainault Essex Culver Square Shopping Centre Colchester Essex and the Goring Hotel Westminster London.
National Crime Agency leaked sources have said that the Scotland Yard files contain a compelling forensic evidential paper trail surrounding the multiple criminal offences executed by Phillips auctioneers and Bonhams auctioneers. Phillips and Bonhams are known to have been effectively a criminal underworld clearing house for the systematic break-up liquidation of major parts of the Carroll Art Collection Trust spanning a ten to twelve year period. This source also revealed that the Hiscox insurance broker has been named as an “expert witness” in this case spanning three continents.
Well seasoned fine art experts in New York and London are believed to have remarked that the Duke of Sutherland Art Collection and the Carroll Art Collection Trust affair is most likely the largest ever art fraud heist case in living memory.
The Carroll Foundation Trust files are held within a complete lockdown at the FBI Washington DC field office and Scotland Yard who have an intimate knowledge of this major public interest case.
