We here at the festival would like to extend our deepest sympathies to Clan Hamilton on the passing of the 15th Duke of Hamilton. 
June 5, 2010. 
You are in our thoughts and prayers.


The city of Hamilton, MT was founded in 1890 by an Irish immigrant and copper magnate, Marcus Daly.  He came to the valley and founded the Stock farm, a 22,000 acre ranch dedicated to his hobby of breeding and racing thoroughbred horses.  He invited a longtime Scottish friend, James Hamilton, to plan a city full of wide streets and economic stability for the surrounding farms and ranches. 

On any given weekend you could find the two friends and their families celebrating their accomplishment with beoir, dancing and games on the lawn of the Daly Mansion.

Other facts...
