New Lanark is the best known example. Others include: Catrine, Ayrshire (cotton); Galashiels, Selkirkshire (wool) and Rattray, Perthshire (linen). The houses in the foreground are flatted terraces, a typical building type in small town and rural textile communities. The mill (centre, right) closed in the 1960s but found a new use as a distillery. This photograph was taken in 1972. Resource pack   1     2     3     4
