The story of the Hamiltons is one of bravery, romance, intrigue, splendor, ambition, and yes, even treachery. Our history is intertwined with the history of Scotland itself. We continue that rich history today as the Duke of Hamilton is the bearer of the Scottish Crown.Hamiltons emigrated around the world, the most famous becoming a founding father. Hamiltons came to North America through ports in Atlantic Canada, Boston, NY and  Philadelphia. Many settled in Ohio. We blazed trails, set up shops along the Appalachia, served in the military and now seek to understand our roots.

Our Clan gathers at Scottish festivals to represent and reach out to those Scots raised on oral history and family stories. We have Clan commissioners to join Hamiltons with each other, offer our own stories and celebrate our rich heritage.
