Falls of Clyde Visitor Centre

Highlight • Waterfall

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 and New Lanark World Heritage Site

Highlight • Historical Site

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.
