New Lanark is a UNESCO World Heritage site in the Clyde Valley of Scotland. Its mills were built to process cotton using the water power of the Clyde. The village used to have 2,000 residents, now it has about 150. This website has been created to provide information and a forum for residents and anybody else interested in the village. It is independent of both the New Lanark Trust and the New Lanark Village Group.
The New Lanark burial grounds are on the hillside above New Buildings. Some years ago Jim Arnold told the New Lanark Trust that it was thought that there are about 70 graves. Some are of the Highlanders who came to Caithness Row to work in the mills.

The Trust decided not to carry out any restoration work in case it attracted vandelism. Some members thought that unlikely.
