This is doubted: but still it must be confessed, that, if this be not the birthplace of Saint Patrick, it is difficult to account for the name of the parish, & for many traditions in regard to his character & doings, which have been handed down for generations in the neighborhood. "The parish is situated in the South-East of the County of Dumbarton, bounded on the South by the River Clyde, which separate it from RenfrewShire; on the west by the parish of Dumbarton; on the East by the parish of New Kilpatrick; & on the North by the parish of Killearn in Stirlingshire" New Stat: [Statistical] Account [continued on page 2] |
