Initially I had a lot to write about this entry. I was darn ready to jot everything I remembered from looking at the pictures, which has started developing cobwebs (if that even possible) in my external hard disk that I never ever bother to touch. But because today's midnight weather is unbelievably scorching hot, and hair in a bun, shorts, additional fan to an air-cond and a few trips downstairs to flush in some cold water into my system just to keep hydrated, my brain decided to have temporary amnesia. Haha.
But anyway, as stated in the title, this entry would be about New Lanark World Heritage Site. Originally, New Lanark is a village founded by David Dale who built cotton mills and housing for the mills worker. So this village history is now transformed into a life size exhibition, hence the World Heritage Site. They pretty much illustrate everything, from A to Z. There is also the Annie McLeod's ride to travel back in their time and see the development of the mills society. It's like a history lesson, but in a fun way. The kind of fun you wish your history classes from Form 1 until Form 5 supposedly be like! Haha.
Breakfast in the train. Let's start the journey! Hehe.
We walked all the way from the train station to the heritage site. It was about 10km.
Still walking ...
Tadaa! We're here! Phewh, penat!

Ehem. Read! Haha.
This is all I have for New Lanark. Pardon me if the pictures aren't as interesting as how it should be. I had a lot of fun playing things around here hehe.
