I was really surprised at how Scottish Hamilton seems to be. I have already mentioned the names of other towns in the area. Here are some others.
Look what they sell as souvenirs - pictures of Highland Cattle! And border collies!Arglyle Shop. Our McLellans were from Argyll..
And I don't have a pic of the Argyle Arms Hotel.
And they even have McDonalds! Scottish, no doubt.
We went to the Hamilton History Center in the afternoon. I asked this question - and they thought that it was by word of mouth among Scottish immigrants. They thought the Hentys were responsible for encouraging people to settle in Victoria.
Their receipt was made out to Kay McLellan! And no hesitation over the spelling. There is no other way to spell McLellan in Hamilton!
