new lanark world heritage site
New Lanark World Heritage Site is a beautifully restored 18th century cotton mill village in Central Scotland, just an hour away from Edinburgh, Glasgow and Stirling.
The village first rose to fame when Robert Owen was mill manager from 1800-1825. Owen transformed life in New Lanark with ideas and opportunities which were at least a hundred years ahead of their time. Child labour and corporal punishment were abolished, and villagers were provided with decent homes, schools and evening classes, free health care, and affordable food.
The fascinating history of the village is brought back to life in an award-winning Visitor Centre, where visitors can explore all the attractions in the village with just one passport ticket. The New Lanark Mill Hotel provides a unique opportunity to stay in the heart of the World Heritage Site, on the banks of the River Clyde.
New Lanark is still a living community, and the village is in the care of an independent charity. Profits from the hotel and visitor attraction help the Conservation Trust continue to restore and maintain the historic village.
