Cullen (Parliament of Scotland constituency)
Cullen in Banffshire was a royal burgh that returned one commissioner to the Parliament of Scotland and to the Convention of Estates.
The Parliament of Scotland ceased to exist with the Act of Union 1707, and the commissioner for Cullen, Patrick Ogilvy, was one of those co-opted to represent Scotland in the first Parliament of Great Britain. From the 1708 general election Banff, Cullen, Elgin, Inverurie and Kintore comprised the Elgin district of burghs, electing one Member of Parliament between them.
