Annie Smith, of Lanark, has decorated her house alongside her two daughters for Lanimers Day, a local tradition.

His first novel Lanark, published in 1981, is widely regarded as a landmark publication, responsible for a renaissance in Scottish writing.

Sister Sarah McDermott, 79, Sister Eileen Igoe, 79, and carer Margaret Hughes, 76, mistreated children at Smyllum Park in Lanark from 1969 until 1981 when it closed.

Hughes, of Lanark, seized one boy by the hair before striking him with her arm.

But she now believes it's the time her father spent heading the ball as a player with teams such as Third Lanark, Blackburn Rovers and Hibernian that did the most damage.
