Clyde gets the '˜blues' for St Andrew's Day
The special lighting displays to mark the nation’s patron saint day was a reflection of the national importance the village, almost derelict forty years ago, has now acquired as a tourist and visitor attraction following restoration.
Said a spokeswoman for the New Lanark Trust: “The stunning 230 year old New Lanark buildings glowed on a grand scale whilst acting as a reminder of our national heritage. The lighting of the buildings and Falls brought together the living history and heritage of the river and the site.

The village will host a whole programme of festive attractions this month.
These will include its New Lanark Christmas Experience ride and festive panto every weekend between now and Christmas itself.
