Continued entries/extra info
[page] 22Hamilton Palace was originally a square tower, about 20 feet long and 16 feet wide. The old part of the house as it now stands, was erected in 1591; and it was afterwards almost entirely rebuilt about 130 years ago.
"In 1822 additions on an extensive scale were begun under the present Duke. The modern part consists of a new front facing the north, 264 feet in length, and three stories high, with an additional wing to the west."
"The front is adorned by a noble portico, consisting of a double row of Corinthian Columns, each of one solid stone, surmounted by a lofty pediment."
