1588 is the year, surely? Same as the Spanish Armada. The 400th Anniversary was held in 1988 at the school.
[edit] Merge with Hamilton Grammar School?
It seems like this article should be merged into the article on Hamilton Grammar School, and "Hamilton Academy" made to redirect to this Hamilton Grammar School article. They cover different eras of the same institution, but the articles seem to overlap substantially. -Agyle 09:21, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
It is not the same institution. The change merely lowered its standards. Don't confuse it with the original. Robert Adam, Deep River Ontario. Former pupil 1936-1940
Hamilton Academy was a county-wide institution that drew its pupils from all over Lanarkshire and was an elitist institution, with all the good and bad that that entails. As a former pupil I do not recognise Hamilton Grammar as a school I ever went to - it was in any case (I believe)created out of a merger of the Hamilton Academy with another nearby secondary school so there is not one-one mapping between the two institutions in any case. Iain Smith London pupil 1964-1969. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.105.90.73 (talk) 21:39, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
