Synopsis
Excerpt from The Statistical Account of Scotland, Vol. 15: Drawn Up From the Communications of the Ministers of the Different Parishes
Etymology, Language; and Antiquities. The Damnu of Ptolomy among other counties, most certainly pofsefscd all Lanarldhire; Ptolomy however makes no mention of the word Lanark, or any of a'similar sound. Baxter, with. Others, have deemed Lanark to be the Ugrulentum of the anonymous geographer of Ravenna, and not without some degree of probability. Baxter's derivation however of ug-j fulcrum): from the W elib tiger lent, which as he says, sig nifies ripe: hamidi, ill/091143, is totally inapplicable, to the situation of Lanark, it being situated on a dry and elevar ed situation, 292 fter t inch above the level of the Clyde. He is equally unhappy in his etymology of Lan ark, which he derives from Lat: a'rr'g, i. E. Ripa flumtnts this town not being situated within view of the river, nor upon its immediate bank, but about half a mile from it.'
