Evidence: Scotland Partick (Scots: Pairtick, Scottish Gaelic: Pàrtaig) is an area of Glasgow on the north bank of the River Clyde, just across from Govan. Partick was a Police burgh from 1852 until 1912 when it was incorporated into the city. During the nineteenth century Partick developed from a small village into a relatively populous centre as a result of the fast pace of industrial development along the River Clyde and improving communications. 1820 1,235 1834 1,842 1841 3,184 1851 5,043 1861 10,917 1871 17,707 1881 27,410 1891 36,538 1901 54,274 1911 66,848
