Find out more about the idea behind the Yours, Lanark campaign

Sometimes, it’s easy not to see what’s under your nose.

Like finding a pair of old shoes or a hidden-away coat, it’s good to rediscover things you’d forgotten you have.

This was our motivation in creating the campaign Yours, Lanark.

 

There has never been a better time to shop and socialise locally.

After spending so much of the last year at home due to Covid, we wanted to shine a spotlight on the cultural and economic focal point of our community - the town centre.

This has been the beating heart of our town for almost a thousand years.

We are so fortunate to have both a fantastic quantity and quality of local businesses – for almost anything you need, you can find it right here on your doorstep.

Yours, Lanark was created to showcase this.

 

But how could we put everything we think and feel about Lanark into words? 

How better, we thought, than to let Lanark do it itself.

We would give Lanark a voice, or more accurately, a pen – and allow it to write to people directly.

Reminding them of all the great things to see and do, letting everyone know what’s been happening and what‘s coming up, persuading them to treat themselves, and encouraging them to spend time in its company, like the familiar friend it always has been.

 

We hope Yours, Lanark will encourage you to fall in love with this wonderful town all over again, as it has for those of us who have worked on it.

We have so much to appreciate.  So much to celebrate.  So much more…than we probably ever realised.

Thank you for being a part of it.

 

Yours, Lanark
