Lanark residents carry on tradition at Perambulation of the Marches as Lanimer Day nears

The residents of Lanark are set to enjoy the annual Lanimer Day celebrations on Thursday and the run-up to it included the annual Perambulation of the Marches.

The tradition dates back to 1752, and gives citizens the opportunity to walk the route which bound the area of the former Royal Burgh.

For the first 100 years or so, the route was completed by riders on horseback on a Thursday but to prevent damage to farmers crops it was changed to foot and now takes place on a Monday.
