Partick, Lanarkshire

Partick is an area in the West End of Glasgow, Lanarkshire. It lies on the north bank of the River Clyde, just across from Govan. Although Partick remained a village until the middle of the 18th century, it is an ancient place. The Kings of Strathclyde had a residence there, and in 1136 David I (1124–53) granted the lands of Perdyc to the see of Glasgow. The Bishops of Glasgow had a country seat in Partick. It was later the site of Partick Castle, a country home of George Hutcheson (demolished 1836). Partick was a burgh from 1852 until 1912. It is within the council area of City of Glasgow.
