Comprehensive datasets have been compiled on every burgh and shire commissioner from the reign of David II to the Treaty of Union.<br> The tabled textual and alphanumeric information facilitates analysis of continuity and change in the composition of the Scottish parliament and representation of constituencies from the fourteenth to the early eighteenth centuries. At the same time, parlimentary commissioners can be grouped by occupations, by regions and by economic interests as well as by political persuasions, by office holding and by social affiliations. Parliamentary composition can also be used to monitor the rise, progress and decline of status groups and social classes.
