Located in southern central Scotland, New Lanark is a restored 18th-century cotton mill village on the banks of the River Clyde, close to the Falls of Clyde in southern Scotland. New Lanark is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, created as a cotton-spinning village in the late 18th to early 19th century. It was transformed under the management of Robert Owen. Owen greatly improved the conditions, facilities, and services for the workers and their families and this influenced many social improvements. By 1799, New Lanark was the biggest cotton mill in Scotland and formed one of the largest factory sites in the world. More than 2,000 people lived and/or worked in the village. Please note we do not offer hotels or other activities in this city at this time.
