LANARK LANIMER DAY
An ancient celebration held within the Royal Burgh of Lanark on the Thursday between the Sixth and Twelfth days of June annually since the year 1140.
 

Provost's Message

"The Lanimers" is again with us. This ancient festival is something which has grown with the passage of years. From the simple ceremony of perambulating the marches it has become a full week of great festivity. Backed by history and tradition and presented with charm, colour and beauty it is now recognised as one of Scotland's foremost spectacles.

The committee responsible for the presentation of this brochure are to be congratulated. It is obvious that their object is to capture the spirit of the Lanimers and I am sure their efforts in the future will be inspired if the reading of their work at home or in some distant land gives pleasure and recalls memories of bygone days.

Happy Lanimers for 1967.

William S. Toy
Provost of Lanark
