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). Source: Wikipedia
Note: Now, this is interesting. 'Strathclyde/Alth Clut' Kings...or, later named 'Strathclyde Kings'? 'granted the lands of Perdyc to the see of Glasgow'. Would that be 'Saint Kentigern's' patch in Glasgow, granted to Kentigern, by Rydderch Hael, King of Alth Clut/Strathclyde? Would it have 'a link', to Kentigern, in any way?
