He described his work at New Lanark as “the most important experiment for the happiness of the human race that has yet been instituted in any part of the world”.New Lanark became a World Heritage Site in 2001 - one of only 6 in Scotland. It sits close to the spectacular Falls of Clyde, amid elegant forests. It can be reached within an hour from both Glasgow and Edinburgh, and there is a train station nearby in Lanark.
