Hamilton & Inches was founded in 1866 on Princes Street in Edinburgh by Sir Robert Kirk Inches and his uncle James Hamilton. On 1 June 1866 Hamilton & Inches registered their hallmark with the Edinburgh assay office. In 1903 Robert Inches helped found the Edinburgh Association of Goldsmiths, Silversmiths and Watchmakers, ‘to prevent firms from selling ‘shoddy’ goods and protecting consumer interest’.
Following Robert's death, the company passed to his son, Edward James Inches. In 1952 the company relocated from Princes Street to their present home of number 87 George Street.
The company has held a royal warrant to the British monarch as goldsmiths, silversmiths, clock & watchmakers for over 120 years.

The Gordon Highlanders was a line infantry regiment of the British Army that existed for 113 years, from 1881 until 1994, when it was amalgamated with the Queen's Own Highlanders (Seaforth and Camerons) to form the Highlanders (Seaforth, Gordons and Camerons).
The regiment was formed on 1 July 1881 instigated under the Childers Reforms. The new two-battalion regiment was formed out of the 75th (Stirlingshire) Regiment of Foot—which became the 1st Battalion of the new regiment—and the 92nd (Gordon Highlanders) Regiment of Foot, which became the 2nd Battalion.
