(The earlier English instances will be found under borough n.; the examples given here are all Scottish.)There are three classes of burghs, viz. royal burghs, the charter of which is derived from the king, burgh of regality and burgh of barony, having their charters respectively from a lord of regality and from a baron. Originally only the royal burghs sent representatives to Parliament.
