New Lanark is a village on the River Clyde, approximately 1.4 miles (2.3 kilometres) from Lanark, in Lanarkshire, and some 25 miles (40 km) southeast of Glasgow, Scotland. It was founded in 1785 and opened in 1786 by David Dale, who built cotton mills and housing for the mill workers. We had a fascinating time in this well preserved and functioning village. Two historical homes were also open to the public. The PiP shows the interiors of a worker's home. There is also a trip through one of the the mills with holograms on the walls to indicate what was going on in the area. Very educational.
