Constituency of the Old Parliament of Scotland
Cullen in
Banffshire was a
royal burgh that returned one
commissioner to the
Parliament of Scotland and to the
Convention of Estates.
The Parliament of Scotland ceased to exist with the
Act of Union 1707, and the commissioner for Cullen,
Patrick Ogilvy, was one of
those co-opted to represent Scotland in the first
Parliament of Great Britain. From the
1708 general election
Banff, Cullen,
Elgin,
Inverurie and
Kintore comprised the
Elgin
district of burghs, electing one Member of Parliament between them.
