Lanark, Historic market town in South Lanarkshire, Scotland
The town stands at the meeting point of the River Clyde and Mouse Water, surrounded by green valleys and medieval architecture spanning across several centuries.
King David I granted Lanark royal burgh status in 1140, establishing it as a significant trading center that served as the county town of Lanarkshire until 1975.
The Lanark Lanimers festival features parades where local schoolchildren select a queen and court, maintaining traditions through themed displays and community gatherings.
Lanark connects to major Scottish cities through regular rail and bus services from its central station, with direct routes to Glasgow and Edinburgh.
The bell in St Nicholas Church dates from 1110 and ranks among the oldest functioning church bells in the world, marking time for generations.
