Under Article XXII and XXIII of the Acts of Union, Scottish peers elected 16 of their number to sit in the House of Lords. They served for the duration of the Parliament, though they could be (and often were) re-elected. If a representive peer died during a Parliament, new elections would be held as shown here. Scottish representative peers continued to be chosen until the Peerage Act 1963 gave Scottish peers the same rights as peers of the United Kingdom.
