New Lanark (outside city centre)
An 18th century cotton mill village, it first rose to fame when Robert Owen was mill manager from 1800-1825. Owen transformed life in New Lanark with ideas and opportunities which were at least a hundred years ahead of their time. Child labour and corporal punishment were abolished, and villagers were provided with decent homes, schools and evening classes, free health care, and affordable food. The social revolution arguably began here. Visit the  New Lanark website.
