Description
The Museum incorporates structures from the 17th to the 21st centuries and two grade A listed buildings. This, the oldest surviving building within Hamilton Burgh's former boundaries was originally a dwelling in the 1690s. You can view one of the earliest sash windows in Scotland. Later additions include a Georgian Assembly Room (1780s) now restored, and an 1830s riding school.Trace the building's fascinating story as well as a wealth of exhibits on the story of South Lanarkshire and its people and industries, together with The Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) Regimental display.
Don't miss the two excellent temporary exhibitions - "Finishing Touches" - an exploration of costume accessories from the last 200 years, and 'At East' - an insight into the Cameronian army away from the battlefield.
