Sashing Lady 2025 Selected

The Lanark Lanimer Committee are delighted to announce that Catherine McClymont will be the 2025 Sashing Lady, proudly presenting Lord Cornet elect Edward Pringle with his sash of office at his installation following the Perambulation of the Marches on Monday 9th June.

Catherine McClymont has been a dedicated South Lanarkshire Councillor since 2012, where she has tirelessly served the Lanark community.

Her commitment and passion for our Royal Burgh have made a significant impact, and her selection as the Sashing Lady is a testament to her ongoing support for local traditions and celebrations.

A strong advocate for the Lanimer Celebrations within her role in the local authority, Catherine is also an active member of the Discover Lanark BID team, working to promote and enhance the charm of our historic town.

Her involvement in our community extends beyond this, as she is a past member of the Clydesdale Sports Council and the New Lanark Trust, further demonstrating her dedication to fostering community spirit and heritage.

Catherine is honored to accept her role and is looking forward to embracing the celebration of Lanark’s rich history and vibrant community spirit during our 2025 Lanimer festivities.

The Lanark Lanimer Committee would like to wish Catherine and her family a very Happy Lanimers.
