Cromarty (Parliament of Scotland constituency)

Cromarty was a royal burgh that returned one commissioner to the Parliament of Scotland and to the Convention of Estates.

A royal burgh since 1264, Cromarty had a new charter on 4 July 1593, but this was not enrolled by Parliament until 1661. The right of representation was relinquished in 1672.
