[edit] Queensferry and South Queensferry

I read:

The constituency comprised the burghs of Stirling, Culross, Dunfermline, Inverkeithing and Queensferry, lying in Stirlingshire, Perthshire and Fife. In 1832, South Queensferry was added.

Linlithgowshire (West Lothian) is not listed, but I believe Queensferry belonged to that county. And according to District of burghs Queensferry was dropped from the list of burghs as the same time that South Queensferry was added, 1832. I suspect, actually, that South Queensferry was an enlarged, renamed version of Queensferry. (The boundaries of various parliamentary burghs were changed in 1832, without corresponding changes to the boundaries of burghs for other purposes.) Laurel Bush 12:04, 17 February 2006 (UTC).

South Queensferry and Queensferry are the same place, and they were in West Lothian as you beleive. Also, none of the places mentioned are in Perthshire, and I don't think they ever were. Jonathan Oldenbuck 14:31, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

List of burghs in Scotland has Culross in Fife but District of burghs has it in Perthshire. Neither article is referenced, but both look and feel generally reliable. Laurel Bush 14:39, 22 October 2007 (UTC).

Culross pretty definitely Fife at time of Representation of the People Act 1918. See Scottish Westminster constituencies 1918 to 1950. Laurel Bush 14:47, 22 October 2007 (UTC).

According to Perthshire, Culross was an exclave of Perthshire, despite being on the north shore of the Firth of Forth, and transferred to Fife in 1889. Jonathan Oldenbuck 16:11, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
