Alexander Hamilton of Mirretoun (died 1579) was a soldier who fought for Mary, Queen of Scots, during the Marian civil war.
[1] According to David Hume of Godscroft, Hamilton was blamed for the defeat of Mary, Queen of Scots, at the battle of Langside.
They captured the king's tailor James Inglis near St Cuthbert's Church.
[4] Inglis was returning from Stirling Castle, where he had been fitting the king's clothes.
The tailor was released two days later after the Deacon of Crafts had spoken with William Kirkcaldy of Grange, Captain of the Castle.
