Hamilton Palace in South Lanarkshire was once one of the premier country houses in the British Isles. This month Dr Godfrey Evans (Principal Curator of European Decorative Arts at National Museums Scotland) gave a fascinating talk, explaining and illustrating how the Dukes of Hamilton enlarged the palace and amassed their great collections of outstanding works of art, furniture, and furnishings.
Dr Evans was introduced by Dr Robert Pirrie WS, Chief Executive of The WS Society and trustee of the Virtual Hamilton Palace Trust.
We were joined on the evening by His Grace, The Duke of Hamilton, trustees of the Virtual Hamilton Palace Trust and members of the public. Thank you to all who attended.
