New Lanark is a beautifully restored 18th century cotton mill village midway between Glasgow and Edinburgh. Here, in the 19th century, Robert Owen created a unique work environment where child labour and corporal punishments were abolished, workers were given decent homes, children went to school and Mr Owen opened a village shop for the mill workers.
This story is told in the different buildings of the visitor centre, which include a sound and light ride, a school room, the village store and a mill with working textile machinery.
This is very much aimed at children, so it’s an ideal attraction for families.
