route of the 2024 perambulation of the marches in advance of lanimer week 2024, the lanimer committee has been hard at work planning our various events for our lanimer celebrations. with regards to the 2024 perambulation of the marches, as part of our preparatory works a number of access and safety issues have been identified with a short section of the perambulation route which will require, for this year only, the diversion of the perambulation route as follows. the perambulation will commence at the county buildings, hope street at 6pm prompt. the perambulation will follow along hope street to waterloo road. at the junction of waterloo road with waterloo drive, the route will turn right and proceed to the junction with bellefield road. at bellefield road the route will turn left, along bellefield road towards jerviswood. along bellefield road the route will be directed by stewards towards the marchstone in the grounds of properties at jerviswood, looping around, and then continuing along bellefield road following our traditional route towards the river mouse at leechford. the lanimer committee would respectfully request that all those participating in the perambulation follow, for this year only, the revised route and avoid the traditional route via the stey brae and woodend. the lanimer committee would also kindly like to remind those perambulating the marches that a number of sections of the route pass through private grounds, where access is granted by landowners through agreement with the lanimer committee on the night of the perambulation only. members of the public should not attempt to access these parts of the route outwith the evening of the perambulation and are asked to respect the privacy of landowners and residents. we would also kindly request that those perambulating please ensure that all litter is disposed of responsibly and that any dog mess is removed. the ancient tradition of inspecting our march stones within the river mouse at the "ducking stane" and within woodend will still be carried out by our lord cornet and his front party support. the ducking stane will be inspected prior to the perambulation and the woodend stone will be inspected as part of the perambulation route. whilst we are disappointed that there is a need to divert the route of this years perambulations, you can be assured that the lanimer committee are working hard behind the scenes to ensure that our traditional route will be reinstated next year, such that the the inhabitants of the royal burgh of lanark carry out their heritable, irredeemable and inalienable right to perambulate the route of the marches of our royal burgh. plan of diversion at jerviswood;

Further Details of 2021 Lanimer Celebrations Announced

lanimer 2021 events & the covid 19 pandemic thursday 21st january 2021 lanark lanimer celebrations 2021 in november the lanimer committee committed to working hard to plan for a lanimer celebration in 2021 within the conditions permitted around the covid 19 virus restrictions and update the community in the new year as to these plans. the lanimer general committee met via zoom on wednesday 20th of january to discuss the planning for lanimers 2021, where everyone present recognised the difficult period everyone in the community and ever business is going through in 2020 and 2021 and that people’s health and wellbeing are paramount at this time. the committee recognises that although progress with the vaccine is hopeful, conditions are very unlikely to have sufficiently improved and restrictions are unlikely to have been sufficiently lifted for a full public event and mass gathering such as lanimer week and the procession to take place in june 2021. therefore it has been agreed to postpone the lanimer procession and crowning until later in the year on saturday 4th of september whereby a crowning and if conditions allow a procession will take place. the change of date allows three additional months for conditions to improve and it is hoped this will give the town a focus to celebrate coming out of covid restrictions. planning and considerations to all factors will continue and the scale and type of event will be dictated by the conditions and what is appropriate closer to the time. lanimer week in june will still be celebrated with the shifting of the standard and installation of the lord cornet and this and any other events will comply with the permissions allowed at that time. further detailed events and activity will be considered in the coming months guided by our statutory partners and government guidelines. the lanimer committee will be working hard over the next months to bring the community together to deliver a lanimers and community celebration. this is our purpose on behalf of you all. a small army of volunteers works tirelessly to make this happen. as lanimer committee chairman i am grateful to everyone for their efforts over many years, but particularly for their anticipated assistance and support for the lanimers in 2021. if your family, friends or you would like to volunteer their help, skills and/or time please: email: lanimer.secretary@gmail.com or text/phone: 07772 352846 and let us know how you would like to participate. you can also support lanimers 2021 fundraising by purchasing silver club tickets through www.lanimersilverclub.co.uk or by contacting maggie05clark@icloud.com to become a lanimer patron. the lanimer committee and lord cornets' club hopes you continue to stay safe. ex-lord cornet kenny lean, chairman

lanimers 2019 - a message of thanks dear editor, lanark lanimer committee and its chairperson, mr john dickman thank everyone involved in this year’s lanimer celebrations, particularly lord cornet ian douglas, lanimer queen olivia bell, crowning lady mrs fiona cross and sashing lady vicki gault, all of whom carried out their duties with the dignity. we were delighted also to have excellent representation from the lord lieutenant and her staff . our entrants gave us another outstanding lanimer procession, with the lanimer court showing dignity and elegance and the bands providing excellent performances. slc’s land services and roads and transport department staff worked through all weathers thrown at them to ensure sterling service throughout the week. police scotland, including the mounted branch, was a welcome feature during the week. under the guidance of inspector ross mccallum the handling of the safety of all attending the week’s celebrations was paramount yet relatively unobtrusive. st andrews first aid and the red cross provided reassuring support, and provided help for the few, thankfully minor, incidents for which their expertise was required. celia orr’s dancers braved some horrendous weather to present their skilful routines for monday evening’s crowd prior to the evening’s main ceremony. the arrival of all those who had braved the torrential rain which followed them round the marches was true testament to the stalwart tradition of lanark to meet its annual historical commitment. somehow, the rain held off through the ceremony, as the chair of the lanimer committee confirming ian douglas as lord cornet for 2019. the expertise of lanark floral art club was on show through the bouquets for the court ladies. shopkeepers, residents and court families provided added colour by decorating houses, shops and gardens, for competition or simply for that lanimer ambience. special thanks go to mckellar’s, jewellers, for their gift to the lanimer queen; to ross of lanark for use of their facilities prior to processions and for use of tractors on lanimer day. morrison’s provided great support with its water stop for everyone in the procession, with bake ‘n’ butty backing up that service to the procession. tesco and tariq, provided drinks and snacks for the children’s friday afternoon events. the generosity of businesses supporting the building of lanimer entries, displaying court dresses, advertising in the lanimer brochure, and selling brochures, draws together this list of generous support throughout our celebrations. special thanks, this year, go to mrs margaret hodge and mrs jean gagnon (ontario) for their amazing donation of a new ‘lanimer carpet’ for the crowning ceremony at the cross, in memory of their mother the late mrs christina findlater. the lanimer committee is indebted to the landowners within whose properties and policies our march stones sit, allowing us to make our annual boundary check, unbroken since 1140ad. just over 950 braved the full perambulation route in sometimes torrential rain. ms helen mccall joined us again as our official critic. we look forward to her observations. the official collections raised just under £2000, adding to the generous support of supporters of the silver club, patrons scheme and the lanimer brochure, all proceeds of which will go to lanimer funds for 2020. the new lanark village group hosted the official rideout stop, presenting the loving cup to the lanimer queen-elect on another evening of torrential rain, with the horse chases cancelled.the air cadets turned out smartly for all their duties in the lanimer procession. we thank them - and all of the above-mentioned - for their valued contributions, services and generous support provided throughout lanimer week. as we begin to plan for 2020 we wish our principals a well-deserved year in their historic roles. to all acknowledged above, and to anyone we may have missed, inadvertently, we say, ‘thank you’, once again - and invite you to put in your diary the week surrounding thursday 11 june 2020, for another spectacular lanimer celebration, and in the hope of kinder weather… molly cumming, honorary secretary

crowning lady 2016 selected julie cox selected as crowning lady for 2016. the lanimer committee is pleased to announce that mrs julie cox will crown the lanimer queen-elect, morgan shillan, on thursday 9 june 2016. she is a former pupil of carstairs primary school and lanark grammar school. julie’s sons attended lanark primary school and lanark grammar school. she kept in touch with both schools, as a parent helper at lanark primary and as a (former) school board member at lanark grammar. julie is married to peter cox and has two adult sons, alan and mark, who live at home. she has two part-time jobs, one of which is working with the district nurses’ team at biggar, carnwath and forth. she is also an out of hours clinical support worker based in hamilton. locally julie is probably best known for her commitment to the pebble patch toddlers’ group. she has been chair of the team since its foundation twenty five years ago and continues to lead group. this is a voluntary, unpaid role which has seen many of our youngest lanarkians through some of their earliest fun and informal learning experiences. a mark of how much julie enjoys her work with pebble patch is visible every year at lanimer time when the parents, friends and toddlers take to the streets in the lanimer procession. it is now twenty one years since we first ‘met’ the group in pooh’s parade, a creative, innovative addition to the 1995 lanimer procession. every year since then we have absorbed the enthusiasm of pebble patch as they transformed from smurfs, to bees, through bill and ben to little mice and even the night garden. their 2010 entry, big cook little cook, brought a touch of masterchef to lanark and who can forget that wonderful corgi taking the group for a jubilee walk in 2012. 2016 will be a special year for julie whose lanimer outfit will draw its own attention as she mounts the dais to crown morgan. we often have to look twice to pick her out from behind her lanimer costume. it’s easy to hide under a busby! while pebble patch takes its place in this year’s procession we shall have no trouble finding julie this year. she will have her own, proud place, accompanied by her companion for the day, june main, her friend and pebble patch partner. as she prepares for her big day we wish julie, peter, alan and mark a wonderful lanimer week 2016 and congratulate julie on achieving this honour which is so well-deserved.
