Parliament of Scotland
The Parliament of Scotland was the national legislature of the Kingdom of Scotland from the thirteenth century until 1707. It met as a single chamber of three estates, clergy, nobility and burgh commissioners, much of whose business was prepared by the Lords of the Articles. It grew more assertive after 1689 and in 1707 ratified the Treaty of Union, which ended it; a new Scottish Parliament was opened in 1999.
