Scope and Content Plan of Caithness Row, New Lanark New Lanark was founded in 1785 by David Dale and Richard Arkwright. It passed to Dale's son-in-law, Robert Owen, in 1799. Owen developed the village into a model community, aiming to make it both profitable and humane. There were 1,300 employees in the 1790s when their houses were built under Dale's leadership. At one end of Caithness Row was the counting house where the workers collected their earnings, either in cash or in the form of a wages ticket. When Owen took over he wanted to improve housing and sanitation in the village. He issued regulations, saying that each house had to be cleaned weekly and had to be whitewashed annually. No cattle, pigs, poultry or dogs were to be kept on the premises. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
