Take a stroll inClydesdale’s richhistoric scenery

Entitled Lanark: Historic Heritage Town it, in fact, doesn’t confine its guide to fascinating local strolls to the Royal Burgh alone but also covers the area around it.

The booklet has been produced as a joint effort by the Royal Burgh of Lanark Community Council and the Lanark Community Developnent Trust, the council’s Eleanor McLean taking the lion’s share of the credit for the months of work which have gone into producing a highly-professional, glossy guide to our area’s treasures.

It skilfully marries and promotes two of our area’s greatest assets; a rich history and some of the most stunning scenery in all Scotland.

Basically, it details three different walks both visitors to the area and locals can take.

Walk One starts off from Lanark Loch and goes via our former racecourse and down to the Falls of Clyde and from there on to New Lanark.

Walk Two starts at the Cartland Crags, goes through Cleghorn Glen and ends at historic Jerviswood.

Walk Three concentrates on the River Mouse and its beautiful surroundings, this stroll going through that river’s valley and into both the Lee and Clyde Valley areas.

The booklet is being distributed through various local public buildings.
