	Wishaw - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wishaw is a large town and former burgh in North Lanarkshire, Scotland.
		Wishaw has long lived in the shadow of its bigger and better known neighbour, Motherwell, with which it formed the joint large burgh in 1920, the Burgh of Motherwell and Wishaw, until its dissolution when Scottish local authorities were restructured in 1975.
		On 4th September 1855, the town was incorporated with the villages of Coltness and Stewarton to form the Burgh of Wishaw, with a population of around 5,000.

	Knowledge Base - Scottish Burghs
		Burghs were essentially urban settlements which enjoyed trading privileges from medieval times until 1832 and which regulated their own affairs to a greater or lesser extent (depending on the type of burgh concerned) until the abolition of Scottish burghs in 1975.
		Over 300 burghs of barony or regality were created between 1450 and 1707, but many did not survive for long, and many others were 'parchment burghs' (burghs erected by landowners, which never developed into the market towns they hoped for).
		Burghs were abolished in 1975 and replaced by district councils, which in turn were replaced by current local authorities in 1996.Burgh Records burghs produced characteristic forms of historical record, such as court books, guild records, registers of deeds, financial accounts, and, latterly, records of burgh institutions such as schools and libraries.

	Robert Adam's Vision of Edinburgh Project - Illustrated essay on The Development of Eighteenth-Century Edinburgh
		The royal burgh of Edinburgh was founded by David I around 1130, although such a defensible and strategically important site had been occupied for many years previous to this date.
		Even before the end of the Middle Ages, the burgh had spread beyond the steep-sided ravine occupied today by the Cowgate to the south of the ridge on which it was founded, and into the relatively level ground beyond this.
		Both in the New Town and on the south side of Edinburgh construction of slightly smaller houses and tenements continued, although the scale of development was probably less than it had been during the boom years of the late 1780s.
