Drawing on local and national sources, this book sheds light upon the way in which parliament acted as a point of contact, a place where legislative business was done, relationships formed and status affirmed. It places Scotland within the wider British and European context and argues that the Scottish parliament was an effective institution.
Contents: Introduction; Erection and enrolment: gaining entry to parliament; Representation; The convention of burghs, the burgess estate and parliament; Individual burghs and parliament; Edinburgh: the capital and parliament; Hosting the estates; A sense of priority: status, precedence and display; Conclusion; Appendices; Bibliography; Index.
