HAMILTON CLAN History

"Remember the people from whence you came"

The Hamilton Clan Crest shows a coronet on which stands an oak tree penetrated with a frame saw and the proud Hamilton clan motto "Through"

The Hamiltons have been a significant family in lowland Scotland since the 13th Century. Probably descended from a Norman knight, Walter Fitz Gilbert who came from Hambledon in Northumberland and was given lands in Renfrewshire, the Lothians and the Barony of Cadzow in South Lanarkshire by Robert the Bruce (1274-1329). King James II (1430-1460) permitted Cadzow to be renamed Hamilton in 1445. The family includes the Dukes of Hamilton and Abercorn and the Earls of Arran and Haddington, together with numerous baronies and baronetcies. The Dukedom of Hamilton was first created in 1643.

The Dukes of Hamilton are the pre-eminent nobles of Scotland and are the country's most senior aristocrats.

James Hamilton 2^nd Earl of Arran, was chosen Regent of the Kingdom and Guardian of young Queen Mary following the death of King James V. He was instrimental in arranging the marriage between Mary Queen of Scots to Francis II, the Dauphin of France. Later the Earl tried to save Mary after her ill- fated second marriage to Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley and gave her shelter at Cadzow, (re-named Hamilton) after she escaped from Loch Leven. The ruins of Cadzow Castle lie within Chatelherault Country Park, only two miles from the town centre of Hamilton.

The seat of the Dukes of Hamilton and Brandon are situated at Lennoxlove, once named Lethington, near Haddington, 25 miles south east of Edinburgh. It was acquired by the 14th Duke of Hamilton in 1946 and remains a splendid setting for the famous Hamilton Palace collection of furniture and paintings as well as mementoes of Mary Queen of Scots.

The Clan Hamilton are somewhat connected to the Douglas Clan due to the fact that the daughter of the Duke of Hamilton married the Earl of Selkirk, William Douglas.The Dukedom remains with the Hamiltons however, as the Duke is chief of Hamiltons, not Douglases.

The heir to the Hamilton titles is the eldest son, Alexander Douglas Douglas-Hamilton, Marquess of Douglas and Clydesdale, 16th Duke of Hamilton and 13th Duke of Brandon (born 31 March 1978)

Dear Stuart

We received the ring today and I'm highly impressed with the quality, it is more than I expected, it is simply amazing I would also like to thank you for your professionalism in service I must say this is the first thing I've ever brought over the Internet and I was a bit nervous. Dealing with you has been a pleasure and I wish you the very best.

Kind regards

Tony McIntyre

PS: If you ever need a reference, please feel free to pass on my details to any potential customers you may have.

Our Mckay crest arrived yesterday, thank you. Absolutely thrilled with it. Quite stunning! I'm sure you will get some more orders for them when other people see ours. Really head and shoulders above any other crest I've ever seen. It already has pride of place on our wall. Once again thank you very much.

All the best with future crests they certainly have our recommendation.

Susan and Brent Mckay.

P.S. My husband who very seldom has much praise for anything thought the crest was top class. Keep up the good work.

Hi Stuart ,

The ring is fantastic , as you said it is difficult to really know until you see the finished product. I notice I've got number 1, it is surprisingly heavy and the detail of the design came out really well, fits well and I'm very , very happy with it , I did have some misgivings that it would be quite large on my small hand but it looks great. I have seen nothing like it around the place, which I'm glad about as it is quite distinctive, and turned out brilliantly!!

Thank you very much!!

I will give you a call at some stage in the not too distant future.

Kind regards

Richard

Hi,

My name is Heather Abbott and my parents (James and Beverly Abbott) purchased a Clan MacNab woman's ring with diamonds from you for me as a Christmas gift. I just wanted to let you know it is the most beautiful ring I have ever seen, I love it and will cherish it. I already had 3 people ask where I got it and I made sure to give them your website address. She also told me she contacted you about the problem with the certificate and you are sending out another...thanks for that also. Well, I just wanted to let you know how happy I am with the ring and how happy my mom was with the great service, if you ever need a recommendation you have mine and my mothers. Thanks

Stuart,

This morning I was treated to a fantastic surprise at my post office. Your wall crest is outstanding and I couldn't be happier! I am proud of its obvious high quality, and it now adorns my office. I spoke with my cousin Janet Johnston last night, and she also couldn't be happier with her ring.

Many thanks, and I look forward to speaking with you in the near future.

Sincerely,

Zane T. McIntosh

Hi there!

We were just talking about you yesterday, and about the ring I purchased last year which was the single greatest Christmas present ever purchased. We're also going to put in an order soon for the Celtic wedding ring you showed us (our wedding is June 9th.) Best wishes for a happy and prosperous New Year!

Regards,

Anita Austenberg (and her Cameron, Henry!)

Hi Stuart,

Just received my bracelet. It is beautiful and a perfect fit. Thank you, thank you, thank you for making it a bit smaller. Can't wait to show it off at the games. Maybe I will be able to send more business your way for you. Will send you a picture when I get done with my film.

Best regards, Sandy

Stuart,

The ring arrived today and was everything I had hoped, fits very well just putting it on my finger made me even more proud of my heritage. Thank you very much for all you help and the work you and your staff put into the ring!

Again with much thanks

Sincerely Yours

Stuart,

I have just come to discover that you have been doing quite a bit of correspondence with my co-workers. Today they gave me a wonderful gift, the Scott family crest. I have displayed it prominently in my office for all to see. I can't say enough about the craftsmanship of the crest. I am honored to have such a fine symbol of my family heritage to pass to my sons and future generations.

Thank you for providing such a valuable service.

Jay

Dear Stuart;

This is my third attempt at a letter to thank you and to describe just how pleased I am with your work. I wasn't fully prepared to open the box and find such a beautiful treasure, and have been caught speechless. The ring that you made for me far exceeded my expectation, despite the fact that I am familiar with your always-excellent work. I wanted to thank you so much for your efforts on my behalf; and in perfecting the final result.

Sincere thanks;

Andrew J. (Duncan) Lusher

Hi Stuart,

Mark loves the ring and wears it with pride. I have just one problem - really three problems. My daughters loved the necklace too. I am wearing it but have promised to purchase one for each of them. So, I will be ordering three of them soon.

Thank you again for everything.

Regards,

Penny MacLean

- received the crest yesterday, December 1st. Absolutely beautiful!! Thank you so much for the detailed workmanship that went into making it. This will be something my family will treasure for generations to come. I'm really looking forward to receiving the ring that I ordered as well. If it's as beautiful as the crest, I will be a happy person.

Thanks again,

Audrey
