Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PAI-PAS
PARTICK (formerly Perdyc or Perthick) , a municipal and police
burgh
  of the parish of Govan,
Lanarkshire
 , Scotland. Pop. (1891), 36,538; (1901), 54,298. It lies on the north bank of the
Clyde
 , and is continuous with Glasgow, from which it is separated by the Kelvin, and of which it is a large and wealthy residential suburb. Shipbuilding yards are situated in the
burgh
 , which has also industries of
paper
 -staining, flour-milling, hydraulic-machine making, weighing-machine making, brass-founding and galvanizing. The tradition is that the flour-mills and
granaries
  the Bunhouse Millsas they are called locally, were given by the Regent Moray to the bakers of Glasgow for their public spirit in supplying his army with bread at the battle of Langside in 1568. Victoria Park contains a grove of fossil trees which were discovered in a quarry. The town forms the greater part of the Partick division of
Lanarkshire
 , which returns one member to
Parliament
 . Though it remained a
village
  till the middle of the 19th century, it is an ancient place. Morken, the Pictish king who persecuted St Kentigern, is believed to have dwelt here and, in 1136, David I. gave the lands of Partick to the see of Glasgow. The bishop's palace stood by the side of the Kelvin, and was occupiedor a mansion erected for him on its siteby George Hutcheson (1580-1639), founder of the Hutcheson
Hospital
