The elections ceased after the Peerage Act 1963 granted all peers of Scotland an hereditary seat in the House of Lords. The first election of Scottish representative peers took place on 15 February 1707 at the Parliament House, Edinburgh, shortly before the Parliament of Scotland was adjourned for the last time on 25 March. The commissioners for the barons and the burghs chose their representatives to the British House of Commons at the same time. (en)
