Scottish Constituencies and MPs

'There is not a drop of blood in my veins which is not pure Scotch.'
William Ewart Gladstone in the Midlothian by-election campaign, 1879.

Scottish Constituencies & MPs

These pages will be expanded to include the names and constituencies of each Scottish MP from the Union of the Parliaments in 1707 until the present day.

On the first of May 1707, according to the Acts of Union, the parliaments of Scotland and England were dissolved and a new parliament of Great Britain was established. In reality, while the Scottish parliament was dissolved, the English parliament at Westminster continued almost unchanged.

Unlike the Scottish parliament, the British parliament of 1707 consisted of two chambers:

A House of Commons consisting of:

45 elected members of parliament from Scotland
513 elected members of parliament from England & Wales

A House of Lords consisting of:

16 representative peers from Scotland
190 peers from England & Wales

Feelings were so strong against the Union in Scotland that the government feared a massive defeat in the polls and decided to co-opt 45 Scottish members rather than holding elections, which were postponed until May 1708.

While all English peers were entiltled to sit in the House of Lords, only 16 representative Scots peers were allowed to. Despite being given the English title of Duke of Brandon, the Scottish Duke of Hamilton was barred from sitting in the House of Lords when the English majority ruled in December 1712 that no Scottish peer could sit in the House by virtue of an English title granted after the union. Scots peers continued to be barred from the House of Lords until 1963.
