Selkirkshire (Parliament of Scotland constituency)

Before the Acts of Union 1707, the barons of the shire of Selkirk (also called Ettrick Forest) elected commissioners to represent them in the unicameral Parliament of Scotland and in the Convention of the Estates.

From 1708 Selkirkshire was represented by one Member of Parliament in the House of Commons of Great Britain.
