Kilrenny (Parliament of Scotland constituency)

Kilrenny in Fife 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, Kilrenny, Anstruther Easter, Anstruther Wester, Crail and Pittenweem formed the Anstruther Easter district of burghs, returning one member between them to the House of Commons of Great Britain.

gollark: A better version would destroy the original universe, to fix some of the ethical issues.
