Old Photograph Hamilton Terrace Lamlash Isle Of Arran Scotland

Old photograph of houses and people on Hamilton Terrace in Lamlash village on the Isle of Arran, in the Firth of Clyde, Scotland. Hamilton Terrace consists of two rows of idyllic single storey and attic cottages of which numbers 1-27 are on the Lamlash seafront, arranged in pairs. Numbers 1a to 24a are positioned behind these and are probably coeval with numbers 1 to 27 and assumed to have been built for residents' summer occupation allowing the main houses to be let to visitors, an accepted practice in Arran. The terrace is a major architectural feature of the village, designed by Sir John James Burnet and constructed in the late 19th century. The houses have survived with a minimum of changes, even to their rear elevation. Some still have original glazing. One of the houses functions as the Lamlash Post Office at no 27. On the front side (seaside) the complex had two rectangular garden enclosures; one of these is currently a car park. On the lawn between the enclosures is a modern monument in remembrance of the Arran clearance emigrants in the form of 3 standing stones.
