About New Lanark Halloween Weekend
Something strange is happening at New Lanark…The ducks have returned — and they’re heading straight for the lade!
No one knows why they appeared, but legend says the old mill’s Halloween magic has awakened, and the lade is now a portal of power.
Only the fastest duck can break the spell. Cheer them on in our first-ever Haunted Duck Race this Halloween weekend!
