Lanark is nestled in a bend of the River Clyde, a mere 75 miles north of Carlisle. Holding a strategic position at the head of Clydesdale, it was one of the most important strongholds of the English army in Scotland, as it secured the main supply route via Annandale north to Stirling.

Today, it is easily reached from the M74 motorway, from either Junction 9 or Junction 12 depending on your direction of approach - click here for a general map of the area.
