Old Photograph Nellie Elder Lanimer Queen Lanark Scotland

Old photograph of Nellie Elder, Lanimer Queen in Lanark, Scotland. The Lanimer celebrations are based on King David I, born 1124, died 1153, granting Lanark the status of Royal Burgh during his reign. A condition of the charter stated that the merchants of the town must inspect their March or boundary stones each year. Lanark claims to have carried out this duty every year since then, and the Land Marches became transformed over time into the annual Lanimer celebrations. Every June the town of Lanark in Scotland holds its Lanimer celebrations. The festivities reach a high point on the Thursday of Lanimer week, when the town's schoolchildren parade in fancy dress with decorated vehicles, pipe bands, and a Lanimer Queen and her Court, who have been elected from local children.
