What is recorded here
Castle Street in Hamilton, 3-5, held a bank and a public house during the 19th Century. Gold and whisky may have crossed in the same building, giving money and memory a shared address. The exact boundary between counting rooms and drinking rooms has faded, but the contrast remains sharp enough to picture.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Hamilton, 3-5 Castle Street as Bank (financial) (19th Century), Public House (19th Century). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
