About Blantyre
- David Livingstone, who was born in Blantyre in 1813, was one of the most celebrated explorers and missionaries of the Victorian era. Livingstone spent over thirty years in Africa, exploring the interior of the continent, campaigning against the slave trade, and seeking the source of the Nile. His meeting with the journalist Henry Morton Stanley at Ujiji in 1871 — when Stanley greeted him with the famous words "Dr Livingstone, I presume?" — is one of the most celebrated encounters in the history of exploration. The David Livingstone Birthplace museum in Blantyre tells the story of his life and work and is one of the most visited heritage attractions in South Lanarkshire.
