New Lanark World Heritage Site, a beautifully restored 18th century cotton mill village in Southern Scotland, close to the Falls of Clyde and less than an hour from Edinburgh and Glasgow. It has a Visitor Centre and Hotel in the village, which is one of Scotland's top attractions, welcoming over 400, 000 visitors every year from all over the world. The village first rose to fame when Robert Owen was mill manager from 1800-1825. New Lanark was at least a hundred years ahead of its 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. 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.
