New Lanark

We took a trip to New Lanark, starting out in warm sunshine, arriving in pouring rain.

After visiting some of the attractions in the old mills - the roof garden then watching demonstrations of carding machines and spinning machines - we walked in sunshine up to the Falls of Clyde, which were really impressive, the colour of peat and running in spate, then returned to visit the remaining attractions, like the gift shop and ice cream.

Looking up to the roof of one of Mill Three we could see large birds perched; seeing one close-to from the roof garden we knew why they weren't moving - this poor thing even has a spider web (look in large).
