The Burghs and Parliament in Scotland, c.1550–1651

Drawing extensively on local and national sources, the author attempts to shed light upon the way in which the Scottish Parliament acted as a point of contact, a place where legislative business was done, relationships formed and status affirmed. The interactions between centre and localities, and between urban and rural elites are prominent themes as is Edinburgh's position as the leading burgh and the host of parliament. The study builds upon existing scholarship to place Scotland within the wider British and European context and argues that the Scottish Parliament was a distinctive and effective institution which was responsive to the needs of the burghs both collectively and individually.

A fine as good as new copy with maybe just some light penciled line annotations.
