Large burgh
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1930, the Scottish burghs were split into two types, large burgh and small burgh. The councils of large burghs had more responsibilities and power than those of small burghs.
All burghs in Scotland were abolished in 1975 and replaced with the uniform system of districts and regions, which is itself now defunct. See Subdivisions of Scotland for the modern units of local government in the country.
