The Scottish Parliaments 1235 - 1707

The May/June issue of History Scotland magazine is devoted to the Scottish Parliament at different stages of its historical development. It coincides with the launch of the new online edition of the acts of the pre -1707 parliament - www.rps.ac.uk. This archive contains a complete record of the Scottish parliament from the earliest surviving act in 1235 to the union of 1707 in a format which makes the new edition one of the most accessible and technologically advanced records of any European medieval or early modern representative institution. It marks the culmination of over ten years' work by the Scottish Parliament Project, based within the School of History at the University of St Andrews.
