(NS 72715 55987) Site of Collegiate Church (GT)

OS 6" map (1938)

The old parish church of Hamilton founded by David I in the 13th century, was rebuilt in 1450, and continued in use until 1732, when it was superseded by the present church. Part of the old church remained for a long time, however, for it served as the burial vault of the Hamiltons until it was removed in 1852.
