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.

A great place to explore and learn the areas history. Tours, cafe, and the nature reserve gives plenty of choice. Parking is at the top of a long hill.

You can’t miss this mural when walking along the nature reserve trails, you just have to hope there are no cars parked in front ruining the view.

The mural of a badger is located on the side of the substation at Bonnington power station at the Scottish Wildlife Trust’s Falls of Clyde reserve. The mural of Clyde the Badger was painted over two days by artist ATMstreetart and can be seen on the Clyde Walkway, which leads visitors past several stunning waterfalls including the Corra Linn. London based ATM has a lifelong love for nature. He has a particular connection to birds, their songs, calls and habitats. He uses his skills as an artist to celebrate the beauty of birds and communicate the extinction crisis. His giant wildlife murals fill walls across London to Bristol and on to Poland and Norway.
