In 1887, John Bartholomew's Gazetteer of the British Isles described Kelvin like this:
Kelvin, river, Stirlingshire, Dumbartonshire, and Lanarkshire; rises 3 miles E. of Kilsyth, and flows 21 miles SW. to the Clyde at Partick, in W. of Glasgow; at Garscube, 4 miles NW. of Glasgow, it enters Kelvingrove, a picturesque wooded dell. See also GLASGOW.
Kelvin is now part of EAST DUNBARTONSHIRE Council. Click here for graphs and data of how EAST DUNBARTONSHIRE has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Kelvin itself, go to Statistics.
