Kirkwall Continued
the Scottish Parliament in 1670. it is governed by a Town Council, consisting of a Provost, two bailies, a dean of Guild and eight Councillors, and in it are held the meetings of the Commissioners of Supply, and all other county meetings. Along with Wick, Tain, Dingwall and Dornoch and Cromarty, it sends a member to parliament." The population of the Burgh of Kirkwall according to the census of 1861 was 3,379. Many of the houses have their gables toward the street, which gives it a foreign appearance, and some of them seem, from their inscriptions, to be verging on antiquity.
Kirkwall is both a Municipal and Parliamentary Borough, and the boundaries are conterminus.
"The Burgh Boundaries were extended for Municipal purposes to the the parliamentary Boundaries in terms of the Act 20 & 21 Vict. C. 70."
