The Duke of Rothesay today hailed New Lanark - the purpose-built, 18 th century mill village in South Lanarkshire – as "a miracle".
His Royal Highness Prince Charles was visiting the village’s Visitor Centre which is one of only six UNESCO World Heritage sites in Scotland.
He was shown the industrial artefacts and giant steam engines which are on display. He also had the opportunity to overlook the spectacular site of New Lanark from the Visitor Centre’s 9,000-sqare-foot rooftop garden – the largest roof garden of its kind in Scotland – as well as meeting with volunteers, workers and donors, and signing the visitors’ book.
