Parliamentary constituency in the United Kingdom, 1801–1950
Ayr Burghs was a
district of burghs constituency of the
House of Commons of the
Parliament of Great Britain from 1708 to 1800 and of the
House of Commons of the
Parliament of the United Kingdom from 1801 to 1950. It elected one
Member of Parliament (MP), using the
first-past-the-post voting system.
Creation
The British parliamentary constituency was created in 1708 following the
Acts of Union 1707 and replaced the former
Parliament of Scotland burgh constituencies of
Ayr,
Campbeltown,
Inveraray,
Irvine and
Rothesay.
Boundaries
The list of
parliamentary burghs represented by the constituency changed in 1832 and again in 1918:
- 1832 to 1918: the Ayrshire burghs of Ayr and Irvine and the Argyllshire burghs of Campbeltown, Inveraray and
Oban
- 1918 to 1950: the Ayrshire burghs of
Ardrossan, Ayr, Irvine,
Prestwick,
Saltcoats and
Troon
When the Ayr Burghs constituency was abolished in 1950, the Ayr and Prestwick burghs were merged into the
county constituency of Ayr. Ardrossan and Saltcoats were merged into
Bute and Northern Ayrshire and Irvine and Troon were merged into
Central Ayrshire.

Sir Thomas was elected, in 1950, as the first MP for the then new constituency of
