The
Royal Burgh of Lanark Museum
houses a collection of items which
illustrate the ancient and varied history of the town. Lanark is one of Scotland's
oldest burghs, and from the time of King William the Lion was a favoured hunting
area of the Kings of Scotland. It also has associations with two of Scotland's
greatest heroes: William Wallace and King Robert
the Bruce.
