Forth‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪3‬개의 폭포

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

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.

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.

Falls of Clyde Nature Reserve is famous for stunning waterfalls and scenic woodland. Over 100 bird species have been recorded in the reserve, as well as Daubenton’s bats, badgers, otters, and many insect species.

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.

A group of four waterfalls, the Falls of Clyde are made up of Bonnington Linn (Scottish for waterfall), Corra Linn, Dundaff Linn, and the lower falls of Stonebyres Linn. Corra Linn, the highest waterfall, measures 26 meters (84 feet). The falls have inspired artists over the centuries: William Wordsworth features them in his poems and J.M.W Turner painted them.
