Black Bond

(

)

... that due to an illegal electoral pact the Scottish burgh of Stirling lost the right to elect a member of parliament in 1773? "Stirling lost its council and its right to vote for an MP as a result of the discovery of the „black bond‟ which effectively carved up council benefits among three men." Muirhead, Andrew T. N. Stirling's churches and the town of Stirling, 1560–1800 (PDF). Retrieved 10 January 2019.
- ALT1:... ~~that the three Stirling burgh councillors who engaged in the illegal Black Bond were also church elders~~? "It‟s an interesting reflection that two were elders of the established church and one an elder in the Secession." Muirhead, Andrew T. N. Stirling's churches and the town of Stirling, 1560–1800 (PDF). Retrieved 10 January 2019.
