THE Hamiltons, so far as trustworthy evidence goes, cannot equal in descent either the Stewarts or Douglases, their history beginning about two hundred years later than that of the former, and one hundred years later than that of the latter ; still their antiquity is considerable. In the introduction to the first chapter I have dealt with the suggested earlier origin of the family. The Hamiltons were conspicuous in their loyalty to Queen Mary, and, judging by the number of marriages between members of the different branches, they were also loyal to their race. Throughout their history one hears little of the violent deeds which charac- terised the Stewarts and Douglases, and one may truthfully say the race has generally been a peaceful one.

This includes: • Subjects where the valuation is comprised only of yard. • Subjects where the valuation is comprised only of yard and portable buildings. • Subjects where the valuation is comprised of yard and permanent buildings, but where in the valuer’s opinion the predominant beneficial occupation of the subject by the hypothetical tenant is by use of the yard. It is also appropriate to use this guidance note for the valuation of land not strictly deemed to be used for solely industrial purposes. Examples may include (but are not restricted to): • Vehicle sales/hire (including caravans, but except where part of a vehicle sales showroom subject) • Lorry/trailer park • Off-road driver training The rates contained in this guidance note should not be applied to yard areas which are ancillary to buildings such as industrial buildings. 2.0 Basis of Valuation This category of subject should be valued by the comparative principle based on a consideration of local rental information. 3.0 Measurement The entire site should be measured and a record taken of areas incapable of significant beneficial use. Examples may include: • Grassed areas • Heavily sloped areas • Very narrow strips of land (eg, between a building and perimeter fence) These areas should be excluded from valuation. Where the subject has more than one type of surface this should be recorded and the sizes of each respective surface individually noted.
