Hamilton is a town in South Lanarkshire, in the central Lowlands of Scotland. Hamilton serves as the main administrative centre of the South Lanarkshire council area. Hamilton is the fourth-biggest town in Scotland.
Hamilton sits 12 miles (19 km) south-east of Glasgow, 35 miles (56 km) south-west of Edinburgh and 74 miles (120 km) north of Carlisle, Cumbria. Hamilton is situated on the south bank of the River Clyde at its confluence with the Avon Water. Hamilton is the later county town of Lanarkshire which was preceded anciently by Lanark.
The Hamiltons constructed many landmark buildings in the area including the Hamilton Mausoleum in Strathclyde Park, which has the longest echo of any building in the world. The Hamilton family are major land-owners in the area to this day. Hamilton Palace was the seat of the Dukes of Hamilton until the early-twentieth century.
Other historic buildings in the area include Hamilton Old Parish Church, a Georgian era building completed in 1734 and the only church to have been built by William Adam. The graveyard of the old parish church contains some Covenanter remains. The former Edwardian Town Hall now houses the library and concert hall. The Townhouse complex underwent a sympathetic modernization in 2002 and opened to the public in summer 2004. The ruins of Cadzow Castle also lie in Chatelherault Country Park, 2 miles (3 km) from the town centre.
Hamilton Palace was the largest non-royal residence in the Western world, located in the north-east of the town. A former seat of the Dukes of Hamilton, it was built in 1695, subsequently much enlarged, and demolished in 1921 due to ground subsidence. It is widely acknowledged as having been one of the grandest houses in Scotland, was visited and admired by Queen Victoria, and was written about by Daniel Defoe.
Hamilton Barracks was formerly the Depot of the Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) and the home of the 1st Battalion of the Regiment. The Regimental Museum is part of the Low Parks Museum. The Low Parks Museum is housed in what was a 16th-century inn and a staging post for journeys between Glasgow and Edinburgh. Recently refurbished, it is the oldest building in Hamilton and is to the north of the Palace Grounds.
By road the town is to the west of the M74 motorway, the main southerly link to England, which joins the M6 just north of Carlisle. The main route from Edinburgh is the M8, leaving at junctions 6 or 7.

Hot Girl - Newarthill girl orphaned after mum dies 7 years after dad
Hot Girl - Newarthill girl orphaned after mum dies 7 years after dad
An eleven-year-old girl has been left orphaned after the untimely death of both her parents - almost exactly seven years apart.The grieving family of Gemma Jones, from Newarthill, Scotland are now campaigning for better support for mental health services after Aaliyah was orphaned when her mother lost her battle with mental health in September last year.While her cause of death is still under investigation, Gemma, 29, was taking medication for borderline personality disorder (BPD) when she died on 17 September.It was almost seven years to the day since Aaliyah's father, Gary Lonie – who also had mental health issues – took his own life on 10 September 2010, aged 27.Gemma's sister, former football star Rhonda Jones, 38, said: 'Sometimes Gemma would hear a voice in her head telling her to be with Gary. Gemma, a carer, died just months after being diagnosed with BPD, recognised by the NHS as the most common personality disorder.It groups the condition into four main areas – emotional instability, disturbed patterns of thinking or perception, compulsive behaviour and intense, but unstable relationships with others.Rhonda says her sister was told she had BPD when she saw a £250-an-hour private psychiatrist in Glasgow in spring last year, after repeatedly being dismissed as suffering with the blues.But after struggling to find suitable treatment, Gemma rapidly deteriorated, culminating in her sudden and unexplained death three months ago.She was found dead in her living room by her father Newall, 66, who is now bringing up Aaliyah with the help of his wife Isobel, 64, in Newarthill.Now the grieving family are trying to piece together Gemma's mental anguish with the help of her diary, in which she wrote about her mental turmoil.Rhonda, a former women's Celtics and Rangers footballer turned firefigher, who discovered the journal, said of her sister: 'She always loved Gary.He was always the boy for her.'There were times where Gemma said she wanted to take her own life.She spoke to me a lot and wanted people to know she was suffering.'She'd also written in her diary that the voice in her head said she was useless and rubbish.It wasn't true, it was so sad to read.' Rhonda recalls her sister's mood temporarily lifting when a private psychiatrist diagnosed her BPD - but she later 'deteriorated' after struggling to find the right treatment.Surviving on a cocktail of prescription drugs, Gemma spoke to her sister at around midnight the day before she died.Rhonda recalls her sounding 'relatively happy' as she shared her plans to go to the gym the next day.Sadly, the following morning, her father found her on the sofa at home and could not wake her.Paramedics attempted resuscitation, but she was declared dead.Now, her family want to raise awareness around mental illness and warn that it can affect anyone.'It affects 25 per cent of the British population,' said Gemma.'Like cancer, it is a sickness.Nationally, there must be less stigma around it.'Gemma was a l

Property auction

This is a short summary of several videos featuring particular sales at a property auction in a Glasgow Hotel. Auction House Scotland commissioned me to shoot the lots, the audience and some individual interviews. I shot the auction using existing lighting and took the sound from the PA system. The interviews were in a dark and noisy lobby so I used my LED lighting and recorded the sound separately at close range.
The music is royalty-free, captions created in Photoshop and the editing in iMovie.
All very fast and economical!
