Talk:Stirling Burghs (UK Parliament constituency)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Queensferry and South Queensferry
I read:
- The constituency comprised the burghs of Stirling, Culross, Dunfermline, Inverkeithing and Queensferry, lying in Stirlingshire, Perthshire and Fife. In 1832, South Queensferry was added.
Linlithgowshire (West Lothian) is not listed, but I believe Queensferry belonged to that county. And according to District of burghs Queensferry was dropped from the list of burghs as the same time that South Queensferry was added, 1832. I suspect, actually, that South Queensferry was an enlarged, renamed version of Queensferry. (The boundaries of various parliamentary burghs were changed in 1832, without corresponding changes to the boundaries of burghs for other purposes.) Laurel Bush 12:04, 17 February 2006 (UTC).
