A Sunny Sunday In Lanark

Got off the Shetland Ferry just after 7 am this morning. I then climbed Dundee Law with Richard Speirs before taking him back to Wormit after 16 days on the road with over 1000 miles driven on Shetland.

This is a picture down the High Street at Lanark.

St. Nicolas' Parish Church stands at the bottom of the high street. The church bell is believed to date from 1110, and may be one of the oldest church bells in the world. It was moved from The Old Church of St Kentigern when St. Nicolas's Church was built in 1774. It has been recast four times, including 1659 and 1983. There is an 8-foot (2.45 m) statue of William Wallace in the steeple. This was sculpted by Robert Forrest, from an ancient drawing in the possession of the Society of Antiquaries.
