Low Parks Museum in Hamilton is a 4-star Visit Scotland attraction situated in part of the Duke of Hamilton’s former estate. Three historic buildings survive – Portland, built in 1696 for David Crawford, secretary to the 3rd Duke and Duchess of Hamilton, Hamilton Palace Riding School, built in 1837 by Alexander, 10th Duke of Hamilton.
The family friendly museum traces South Lanarkshire’s history: early settlement and archaeology; Hamilton Palace and South Lanarkshire’s Royal Burghs; working life; design, industry, technology and agriculture. The Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) Gallery reflects over 300 years of service around the world, from the Covenanting roots in the 17th century right up until disbandment in 1968 and beyond.
