Elginshire (Parliament of Scotland constituency)
Not to be confused with Elginshire (UK Parliament constituency).
Before the Acts of Union 1707, the barons of the shire of Elgin and Forres (later called Moray) elected commissioners to represent them in the unicameral Parliament of Scotland and in the Convention of the Estates.
From 1708 Elginshire was represented by one Member of Parliament in the House of Commons of Great Britain.
