ROW, a '''parish''', in the county of Dumbarton, 12 miles (W. N. W.) from Dumbarton; containing, with nearly the whole of the late quoad sacra parish of Helensburgh, and the villages of Gareloch-Head and Row. This place is said to have derived its name, in the Gaelic spelled Rhue, and signifying "a point," from a narrow slip or tongue of land which projects from its south-western coast nearly into the centre of the Gareloch. The parish is bounded on the north-west by Loch Long, on the south-west by the Gareloch, and on the south by the Frith of Clyde. Churches have been erected at Gareloch-Head and Helensburgh; in the latter place are also meeting-houses for '''Independents''', the '''Free Church''', and '''Baptists'''; and an '''Episcopal chapel'''.<ref>Lewis, Samuel A., ''[http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=43476#s12 A Topographical Dictionary of Scotland]'' (1846), pp. 430-443. Adapted. Date accessed: 20 February 2014.</ref> | |||
