WATER ROW

Water Row was a lane leading down to a ford and stepping stones across the river to Partick.
By the 16th century, a ferryman was taking passengers from one side to the other.
Soon the 'Ferrie Bote Inn' was established as a staging post for horse drawn coaches to Renfrew and beyond.
By the 17th and 18th Centuries, there were stone built, thatched fishermen's cottages lining the lane.
