New Lanark World Heritage Center Overview
The New Lanark World Heritage Site in Southern Scotland is a restored 18th-century cotton mill village. At the award-winning visitor center visitors can explore what life would have been like for the 18th-century inhabitants of New Lanark which rose to fame in the early 1800s when Robert Owen was manager of the mill. Two of the most popular attractions at the center are the Millennium Experience ride and an audio-visual theater show called Annie McLeod's Story which tells the history of the region through the ghost of a mill-girl. From the center, visitors can follow the trail to the spectacular Falls of Clyde close by where there's also a Wildlife Center that's home to nesting peregrine falcons. The site is one of Scotland's top attractions attracting over 400,000 visitors each year. The visitor center is closed during December and January.
