Sarah Cameron, Scotland community manager at Drax, said: "Drax are delighted to support the development of the Power Trail, as our Lanark Hydro scheme approaches its 100th anniversary. "We hope all visitors following the trail enjoy learning about how Bonnington Power Station operates using the River Clyde." Sylvia Russell, chairman of Lanark Community Development Trust, said: "We are also very grateful to Drax and SSE for their generous grant funding. "We hope that visitors to New Lanark will find the new trail interesting and informative and that school groups will make use of the excellent STEM teaching resources."
