Gavin Mark Hamilton is an all-round cricketer who played One Day Internationals and Twenty20 Internationals for Scotland and one Test for England. He began his senior career in 1993, taking 5–65 in the first innings of his first-class debut, Scotland's annual game against Ireland, he played a few times that year for Yorkshire's Second XI, making his first-team debut for the county in 1994. He took a few years to become established in the side, but by 1998 was an important team member: that summer he took 59 first-class wickets at 20.54 as well as scoring six fifties, claimed 34 one-day scalps at 18.94. In 1999, Hamilton represented Scotland in the 1999 World Cup, his place in the squad was announced late, as there had been a possibility that England would select him for their own World Cup squad, but when this did not happen he was free to play for Scotland. He rose to the occasion well, scoring 217 runs in his five One Day Internationals and holding the innings together on several occasions.

In 1999–00 England toured South Africa and this time Hamilton was included, his World Cup performances for Scotland having impressed the selectors. He played in the first Test at Johannesburg but had a nightmare match as England slumped to an innings defeat: scoring a pair and taking 0–63 with the ball, he was dropped for the second Test and never played for England again. Hamilton's appearance in England's cause had been brief indeed, but was to prove costly to him as it meant that he would have to re-qualify to play for Scotland, a process that would take four years. Meanwhile, his domestic form, still good in 2000 as he scored his first century fell away to such an extent that in 2002 and 2003 combined he played a total of just six first-team games for Yorkshire. Joining Durham for 2004, he made his way back into the reckoning, with an unspectacular yet steady season. Having once again become available for Scotland in January, he was recalled to the national team and in November of that year he played as a batsman in the ICC Intercontinental Cup final against Canada in Sharjah, making 115 as Scotland won by an innings.

In 2005 Hamilton appeared a few times for Durham in the totesport League before being loaned to play for the Scottish Saltires in the same competition in the year. Hamilton was released from his contract with Durham at the end of the 2005 season and continued to combine his work with Caledonian Breweries with playing for Scotland and the Scottish Saltires. In 2008, while playing against Ireland Hamilton scored his maiden One Day International century. After Scotland's poor performance in the 2009 ICC World Cup Qualifiers, Hamilton was appointed captain of the Scottish One Day International team in April 2009, replacing Ryan Watson. In July 2009, in his first match as Scottish captain, while playing against Canada, Hamilton scored his second One Day International century, although in the end Scotland went on to lose the match; the following day, Hamilton scored a half-century and led Scotland to victory to square the two match series 1–1. In August 2010, Hamilton announced his retirement from the Scotland team.

Hamilton still plays amateur cricket, opening the batting for Guiseley CC of the Airedale-Wharfedale Senior Cricket League.

The Most Illustrious Order of Saint Patrick is a British order of chivalry associated with Ireland. The Order was created in 1783 by George III at the instigation of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, The 3rd Earl Temple; the regular creation of knights of Saint Patrick lasted until 1921, when most of Ireland became independent as the Irish Free State. While the Order technically still exists, no knight of St Patrick has been created since 1936, the last surviving knight, Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester, died in 1974; the Queen, remains the Sovereign of the Order. The position of King of Arms of the order was held by Ulster King of Arms. St Patrick is patron of the order; the original Royal Warrant specified that there were to be no more than fifteen knights of the Order at any one time, something that changed in 1821 when George IV appointed an extra six knights. William IV appointed an additional four knights at his coronation, on 24 January 1833 increased the maximum number of knights to 22. GeneralGalloway, Peter.
