Continued entries/extra info
In 1556, during the minority of Mary Queen of Scots, James Hamilton, Earl of Arran, an ancestor of the noble home of Hamilton and nearest heir to the throne after Mary, was appointed Regent, this appointment having been opposed by the Earl of Lennox and the Queen Dowager, an engagement took place at the Butts (now the site of the Infantry Barracks).
