| - The Sheriff of Haddington, or Sheriff of East Lothian, was historically the royal official responsible for enforcing law and order in Haddington, Scotland. Prior to 1748 most sheriffdoms were held on a hereditary basis. From that date, following the Jacobite uprising of 1745, the hereditary sheriffs were replaced by salaried sheriff-deputes, qualified advocates who were members of the Scottish Bar. The sheriffdom of Haddington was created in the 12th century. Following mergers of the Scottish sheriffdoms in 1856 the position was retitled Sheriff of Haddington & Berwick. The sheriffdom was divided in 1872 and merged into the sheriffdoms of Midlothian & Haddington and Roxburgh, Berwick & Selkirk. (en)
