A History |
|
Dumfries Burgh
was a burgh
in the county of Dumfries
Shire, in Scotland. In 1186, Dumfries was officially given the rights of a royal burgh.
Throughout the first 50 years of its foundation the town was at the forefront
of the Scottish Borders until the consolidation of Galloway in 1234. Burghs,
such as Dumfries, were essentially urban settlements which enjoyed trading
privileges from medieval times until 1832 and which regulated their own
affairs to a greater or lesser extent (depending on the
|
type of
burgh) until the abolition of Scottish burghs in 1975. Burgh status has
implications for historical records. Separate valuation rolls and electoral
rolls were compiled by royal and police burghs until 1975. Burgh Records:
Burghs produced characteristic forms of historical record, such as court
books, guild records, registers of deeds, financial accounts, and, latterly,
records of burgh institutions such as schools and libraries.
