Old Photographs Lanark Scotland
Tour Scotland wee video of old photographs of Lanark, Scottish Gaelic: Lannraig, a small town in the central belt of Scotland. The name is believed to come from the Cumbric Lanerc meaning " clear space, glade."Lanark was the county town of the former county of Lanarkshire, though for many years Hamilton was the county town, before the formation of Strathclyde. Lanark railway station and coach station has frequent services to Glasgow. Lanark has served as an important market town since medieval times, and King David I made it a Royal Burgh in 1140, giving it certain mercantile privileges relating to government and taxation. King David I realised that greater prosperity could result from encouraging trade. He decided to create a chain of new towns across Scotland. These would be centres of Norman civilisation in a largely Celtic country, and would be established in such a way as to encourage the development of trade within their area. These new towns were to be known as Burghs. The Lanark Lanimer celebrations take place each year for one week in June. Local primary schoolchildren elect a Lanark Lanimer Queen and court. William Wallace is one of the most notable people in Lanark's history. A key leader in the Scottish Wars of Independence, he is known to have first " drawn his sword to free his native land " in Lanark in 1297, killing the English sheriff Haselrig. Visitors to the town can visit the nearby World Heritage Site of New Lanark,
