Item description from seller

1996. viii, 92pp. SIGNED twice by the author at the top of the title page - once with her married name (EPD Torrie) and then with her (later unmarried) name E Patricia Dennison. The book is in very good condition. B&W images, maps and plans throughout. Folding colour map to rear. "A settlement has existed at Cadzow (or Hamilton as it was later called) since at least the twelfth century when King David I (1124-1153) held court there. Historic Hamilton is an engrossing account of the origins of the town and of the relationship between the Hamilton family and ordinary townsfolk-which reached its zenith with the 'great design' of Duchess Anne in the late seventeenth century. This relationship had a profound effect on the growth and changing fortunes of the town-at times, even on its very location and survival. Historic Hamilton is a fascinating study of the town's history and archaeology, its historic buildings, its geography and topography, and the origins of its streets and street names. This book is part of the Scottish burgh survey-a series designed to identify which areas of Scotland's historic burghs are of archaeological interest.".
