Hamilton is a historic town in South Lanarkshire, Scotland, located about 12 miles southeast of Glasgow. The town developed around the Hamilton Palace, once the seat of the Dukes of Hamilton and one of Scotland's grandest country houses before its demolition in the 1920s.

Hamilton's history is deeply connected to coal mining and heavy industry, which significantly shaped its development during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Today, Hamilton serves as an important administrative and commercial center for the region, featuring the South Lanarkshire Council headquarters. The town maintains several historic buildings and cultural venues, including the Low Parks Museum housed in the former Palace riding school buildings, which showcases the area's rich heritage.

Hamilton also benefits from good transport links to Glasgow and Edinburgh, making it a popular residential area for commuters.
