Lanark, host to the first Scottish Parliament in 978, is a busy market town in the Upper Clyde Valley. The town was created a Royal Burgh by King David the First in 1140. The area has seen royal patronage down through the centuries, the Royal Palace having stood at the foot of the Castlegate. William Wallace resided in Lanark for a number of years and a commemorative plaque, showing the location of his house, is sited at the foot of the High Street. In 1369 the town was given the responsibility of looking after the stone weights of Scotland, emphasising the town's stature in the nation.
In a deep gorge by the River Clyde, about one mile from the town, lies New Lanark, best known for the philanthropic works of Robert Owen. Whilst the mills are no longer operating, New Lanark attracts many visitors each year to the restored buildings and visitor centre.
