Royal burghs and burghs of barony There were comparatively few royal burghs founded in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries -a total of 21 between 1560 and 1707 but only two of these came after 1650. The period 1450-1707 saw, however, the erection of 350 burghs of barony and regality; 121 of them were founded 1561-1660 and a further 110 between 16611707. It has been suggested that as many as 140 of these, including many of the post-I660 foundations, were non-viable.

In 1692, the pre1560 foundations (both royal and baronial) accounted for 51 % of inland trade; those founded between 1600 and 1660 accounted for 29% more; the large number of post-I 660 foundations, including licensed market centres outside burghs, handled only 16% and nearly half of this was accounted for by Crieff. • Burghs of barony New burghs of barony 1660-1707 ~viable burghs 150 D Burghs 01 barony 125 100 Number 75 of burghs o~~~~~~~~--L---~ 1450-1560 1561-1660 1661-1707 Share of inland trade in Perthshire 1692 Growth of burghs of barony 1450-1707 Royal burghs and burghs of barony to 1707 ML 233Transcribers who have contributed to this page.
