A television series entitled "Treasures of the World - Heritage of Humanity" that I can recommend without reservation presents the culture-loving viewer (in German) with remarkable examples of human achievement from many countries around the world. What they all have in common is that they have been given "World Heritage" status by UNESCO. One of the contributions documents: "In the south of Scotland, by the waterfall of Cora Lynn, there is a cotton mill from the 19th century. The birthplace of the Workers' Welfare Association, a model community whose core values still shape the world of work today. The manufacturer Robert Owen built clean accommodation for the employees, reduced working hours to 12 hours, provided schooling for the children and set up a medical station." This is what it says on the ARD media library website. The film contribution corresponding to the highlight (in German) can be found under the following link => https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/schaetze-der-welt/new-lanark-grossbritannien-folge-201/swr/Y3JpZDovL3N3ci5kZS8xNjQyMDIyNg

Great day out for all the family 😊

The north viewpoint here is much closer to the falls but harder to really appreciate them. The larger viewpoint on the south east side of the river gives a better view.

Bonnington Lynn great viewpoint

Great location,something for everyone.

Falls of Clyde Visitor Centre is now open daily, 10:00-16:00 - but check the Scottish Wildlife Trust website before visiting. You can find interactive displays for kids, loads of information about the reserve and its wildlife and a board with latest sightings, as well as video footage of some local animals! You can also sit down and watch the river from the centre - we spent 15 min watching a family of mallards from the window.

Interesting industrial heritage surrounded by great gravel and forest trails for exploring.

The ruins of one of the essential facilities at the historic ironworks site
