About Lanark

Lanark is a small town in the central belt of Scotland, the county town of the former county of Lanarkshire. It has a long history, old traditions, and some fine parks and buildings. Lanark has railway and coach stations, with frequent services to Glasgow. There is little industry in Lanark. The shops serve the local agricultural community and surrounding villages. There is a large modern auction market on the outskirts of the town. Some residents commute to work in Glasgow and Edinburgh. The town has a serious traffic problem. The historic burgh of Lanark was the location of the first meeting of the Scots Parliament in 978. 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. In France Bastides were established for much the same reason.
