I would guess that it had a great deal of power during the "Covenanting" era, as for all intents & purposes it ran the joint. And they did away with the Lords of the Articles in the late 1600s, which could not have been a popular move considering being one of those was a mark of political patronage, as well as removing the clergy from membership entirely (must have had bad Covenant flashbacks LOL). Wasn't the Bank of Scotland established by Parliament in this period as well? As far as books, I came up with THIS at Amazon....scroll down for the companion volumes which cover the period you're talking about. |

I know the Scots Parliament was abolished in 1707, but didn't I see something that it had been reinstated in the last decade? What's up with that? |

I remember the Scot Parliament being voted on in September, 1997. The "yes" votes for it was a landslide. Did it take till 1999 to be set up? The voting for it was around the time of Pricess Diana's funeral, a very sad time, and even though I was in Scotland at the time my thoughts were more about the funeral. Judy | | | |

The referendum was held in Scotland on 11 September 1997, the week after the Princess of Wales' funeral. It posed two questions regarding the composition of the proposed Parliament. It took over a year for the details to be worked out and the Scotland Act was passed on 19 November 1998. Elections were held in the spring of 1999 and the Scottish Parliament opened on 1 July 1999. A similar Assembly exists in Wales but with lesser powers. An Assembly was established in Northern Ireland, but it has been dissolved following problems with the Nationalist members. |
