Lochmaben (Parliament of Scotland constituency)
From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
Lochmaben in Dumfriesshire was a royal burgh that returned one commissioner to the Parliament of Scotland and to the Convention of Estates.
After the Acts of Union 1707, Lochmaben, Annan, Dumfries, Kirkcudbright and Sanquhar formed the Dumfries district of burghs, returning one member between them to the House of Commons of Great Britain.
