Scottish municipalities have existed in the form of burgh, royal burgh, cities and, currently most common, local councils. Between 1855 and 1975, valuation rolls in Scotland were divided into counties and burghs. A burgh was a Scottish town which had certain privileges conferred by a charter and had a town council to run its affairs.
James VI's Golden Charter to Perth in 1600 referred to it as a "free city and regal and royal burgh". [26] It was officially the second city of Scotland until 1975 when city status was removed when local government was reorganised. It regained the status in 2012. [27] Dunfermline was also made a royal burgh in ~1124 by David I of Scotland. [4]
