Lanark is here for New Lanark: mill village, river gorge, industrial reform history, and a simple day-trip shape from Glasgow or Edinburgh.
Do not visit Lanark expecting a broad city itinerary. New Lanark is the reason. Check opening times and transport before going. Without the mill village or riverside walk, the stop is much thinner.
