New Lanark makes a great day out for all the family - with history really brought to life in the various parts of the centre.  The village was based around a cotton mill, which was operated on extraordinarily enlightened principles for its time - led by the remarkable social reformer Robert Owen.  The buildings have been restored to offer insights into how  people worked and lived in the 19th and early 20th centuries - and those who lived here were far more fortunate than most people of their time.  Such is its historical significance, the centre has been designated a World Heritage Site. 
There are plenty of interactive exhibits for little ones to enjoy, and facilities for families are good.
