A wonderful golfing experience awaits you at
Lanark, the 25th oldest golf club in the world. The
moorland course is one of Scotland’s finest, while
the clubhouse facilities have recently been upgraded
to a high standard. There is a well-stocked pro shop,
practice area and an interesting wee 9-hole course.
The food is also pretty special: Lanark Golf Club’s
resident chef is very well regarded by members. The
course is located just outside the town of Lanark in
the Upper Clyde Valley. Maintained to the highest
green-keeping standards, it is renowned for its
smooth, fast greens, natural moorland fairways and
beautiful, unspoilt views across Scotland’s rolling
South Upland hills. The course is built on a substrate
of glacial sands, providing classic moorland fairways
which drain freely and are playable all year.
The superb quality of Lanark’s greens is praised by
all who play it. Look out your clubs and come see
for yourself.

David Livingstone Centre
The David Livingstone Centre is a biographical
museum in Blantyre, South Lanarkshire dedicated to
the life and work of the legendary Scottish explorer
and missionary. In the 18th century tenement in which
Livingstone was born, visitors can follow his life from
growing up as a piecer in the Blantyre Cotton Mills to
his explorations in Africa. Housed in Shuttle Row, a
tenement which the Livingstones shared with 23 other
families, this historic attraction is packed with items
relating to his explorations in Africa. These include
journals, letters and navigational equipment, as well
as dioramas of significant events in his travels. The
centre also gives a fascinating insight into the living
and working conditions of 19th-century Scotland.
Set in parkland overlooking the River Clyde, there
are plenty of picturesque woodland walks in the area
including along the Clyde Walkway to Bothwell Castle,
making it the perfect place for a family day out.
