Discover Lanark has recently received grant funding from the Scottish Government’s COVID-19 Business Improvement District Resilience Fund for the redevelopment of The Lanark Website www.lanark.co.uk. The site will be renamed Discover Lanark under a newly created and unified brand for Lanark, New Lanark and the Falls of Clyde. The new branding will be used across print, digital and signage within the town, conveying a proud, welcoming and vibrant town and highlighting the key elements of our landscape, heritage and heart.
The new website features: Business Directory, Latest News, Events, Live Webcams, Community Noticeboard and Things To Do. Already averaging 6,000 visitors per month, it is expected that the new website will grow in popularity and exceed this number with visits from the local community and increasingly visitors to the area.
Local businesses are encouraged to make the most of the various digital features of the website to promote their business offering, products and services to the local community, visitors and tourists.
