Parliament of Scotland constituency
Nairnshire was a constituency of the
Parliament of Scotland before the
Union with England in 1707. The
barons of the
shire or
sheriffdom of
Nairn elected two
commissioners to represent them in the Parliament and in the
Convention of Estates.
At the time of the Union
Hugh Rose, commissioner for Nairnshire was chosen as one of the
Scottish representatives to the first Parliament of Great Britain. From 1708
Nairnshire elected one Member of Parliament to the
British House of Commons.
