The New Lanark World Heritage Site is a beautifully restored 18th century cotton mill village.  It lies nestled in the stunning south Lanarkshire valley in southern Scotland nearby to the Falls of Clyde.

The village first rose to great acclaim when Robert Owen was mill manager from 1800-1825. He transformed life in New Lanark with innovative ideas which were ahead of their time. Villagers were provided with decent homes, schools and evening classes, affordable food and free health care. Child labour and corporal punishment were abolished.

New Lanark is a living community today and is in the care of an independent charity. The profits from the hotel and visitor attraction assist the Conservation Trust to continue to restore and maintain the village.  

You may wander around the village and learn how people lived and worked in Robert Owen's time.  The highlights of the village include the magical Millennium Experience ride and an audio-visual theatre show called  Annie McLeod's Story.

The village lies beside the Falls of Clyde.  The Falls of Clyde is the collective name of four linn on the River Clyde near New Lanark. Linn are waterfalls. The area has been a popular destination for visitors with visits from the Wordsworths and Sir Walter Scott.  William Wordsworth immortalized Corra Linn, the largest of the waterfalls, in verse in 1802.
