The constituency

The British parliamentary constituency of Cromartyshire was created in 1708 following the Acts of Union, 1707 and replaced the former Parliament of Scotland shire constituency of Cromartyshire. Cromartyshire was paired as an alternating constituency with neighbouring Nairnshire. The freeholders of Cromartyshire elected one Member of Parliament (MP) to one Parliament, while those of Nairnshire elected a Member to the next.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

Abolition

The Representation of the People (Scotland) Act 1832 abolished the alternating constituencies. Cromartyshire was merged with Ross-shire to form the single constituency of Ross and Cromarty, both counties electing one Member between them to each Parliament.
