New Lanark was founded in 1786 by David Dale, who built cotton mills that took advantage of the power of the waterfalls and homes for the workers. In the 19th century, the village was transformed by the philanthropist and utopian idealist Robert Owen, Dale's son-in-law, who created a model industrial community. An early example of a planned settlement, New Lanark marked an important milestone in urban planning. UNESCO has recognised the village as a World Heritage Site. You find opportunities for food and drink and accommodation in the village.
