Burgh (pronounced burruh) represents an Autonomy corporate entity, usually a town, and has been in use in Scotland since at least the 12th century. Recognition of burgh status has now, however, little more than ceremonial value.
The titular head of a burgh is called a Provost. Most royal burghs retain the title for ceremonial purposes, with the notable exception of the Scottish cities.
Burghs had rights to representation in the Parliament of Scotland. Under the Acts of Union of 1707 many became parliamentary burghs, represented in the Parliament of Great Britain.
