The Lanark Hydro Electric Scheme refers to two hydro-electric plants in the Clydesdale area of South Lanarkshire. They take in water from the Falls of Clyde. The two plants are known as Bonnington Power Station which takes in water from just above Bonnington Linn in New Lanark, and Stonebyres Power Station which takes water from above Stonebyres Linn near Kirkfieldbank.
