Just south of Hamilton town centre on the road to Larkhall (the old A74) this is a modern
country park with an astonishing building at the heart of it.
Originally this was said to have been built as a fancy dog kennels for the Dukes of Hamilton and as you can see is an impressive building, open to the public.
The steep slope along the front of the building is where a sand quarry was dug at a time when the building had yet to be restored. At the back are some impressive gardens and an added information centre, well worth a visit. The well cut hedges might only be a foot or so high but they make a great photograph.
The avenue of trees looking down to where Hamilton Palace used to be is clearly seen, looking over the space that was dug out as a sand quarry in the 20th century.
