Wick Burghs (UK Parliament constituency)
Wick Burghs, sometimes known as Northern Burghs, was a constituency of the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom from 1832 to 1918. It elected one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post voting system.
A similar constituency had been known as Tain Burghs from 1708 to 1832.
==Boundaries==
The constituency was a district of burghs representing the parliamentary burghs of Cromarty, Dingwall, Dornoch, Kirkwall, Tain and Wick.〔For the burghs included see Craig, ''British Parliamentary Election Results 1832-1885 and 1885-1918''.〕 Apart from Cromarty, these burghs had been previously components of Tain Burghs.〔For the burghs included in Tain Burghs (and the pre-1832 franchise) see Namier and Brooke, ''The House of Commons, 1754-1790''.〕 In 1918 Dornoch and Wick were merged into Caithness and Sutherland, Kirkwall into Orkney and Shetland and Cromarty, Dingwall and Tain into Ross and Cromarty.〔For the boundary changes in 1918 see Craig, ''Boundaries of Parliamentary Constituencies 1885-1972''.〕〔Representation of the People Act 1918, Ninth Schedule - Parliamentary Counties, Scotland〕
The first election in Wick Burghs was in 1832. The franchise was extended to wider groups of the population than under the old system of burgh councillors electing a burgh commissioner to participate in the election. From 1832 the votes from each burgh were added together to establish the result.
