Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes and Reminiscences Relating to Partick Whilst musing upon the deep-rooted superstitions of the old villagers, and endeavouring to trace their probable origin, it soon became evident that these did not belong to Partick in any special manner, but were the common property of large districts, in some cases of mankind, being frequently the survivals of old religions, based upon false ideas of God. So, while detailing some of the superstitions and old customs prevalent in Partick sixty years ago, I have endeavoured to sh ow their connection with other places, and with long past ages and beliefs.
