Wick (Parliament of Scotland constituency)

Wick in Caithness 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, Wick, Dingwall, Dornoch, Kirkwall and Tain formed the Tain district of burghs, returning one member between them to the House of Commons of Great Britain.
