Constituency Boundaries
Wigtownshire is a Scottish shire (later known as a county), which had previously been represented by two commissioners in the former Parliament of Scotland.
The constituency included the whole shire, except that between 1708-1885 the burghs of Stranraer, New Galloway, Whithorn and Wigtown, formed part of the Wigtown Burghs constituency.
