Children who have lain
in unmarked graves in Lanark’s St Mary’s Cemetery for up to 150 years
are soon to be nameless no more. Although the order of nuns that ran
Lanark’s Smyllum Orphanage from the 1860s to the 1980s, the Daughters of
Charity of St Vincent De Paul, bowed to pressure several years ago to
erect a memorial stone to children who died in their care in the
vicinity of their unmarked final resting places, that stone carried no
individual names.
