Nice couple of days in New Lanark, not the end of the World and fascinating.

Home and feet up once more, however, having just spent a nice restful couple of days at the New Lanark Mills Hotel, I could quite happily still be sitting there.   Hotel was very nice, comfortable, and staff very friendly,  so we have already booked for another short stay in a few weeks time.    It is years since I was last through there and since then there has been an amazing amount of work done to redevelop the old mills.  £millions spent on the redevelopment which is first class, now a World Heritage Site.  I remember the old shells of the Mills and now they are converted into a hotel, spa, visitor's centre, etc, and certainly well worth the visit.  
The mills sit on the banks of the River Clyde, below the water falls which were the original source of power for the complex.  The first hydro electric station in Scotland was then built there to harness the energy from the falls and it still operates today.

We spent some time in the Visitor Centre where there are still working spinning machines , now working with wool rather than cotton,   but having run out if time we will have a look at the rest of the site next time.
