Early parliaments rarely lasted more than a few days and it was only at the end of the 16th century that parliament established itself permanently in Edinburgh. Theoretically every tenant in chief who held lands directly of the Crown could attend but in practice this was impossible. From 1428 the higher nobility received a personal summons from the King while smaller barons and free-holders could send representatives in their place. Burgesses, elected by the town council, attended from the mid 14th century - their presence important for financial reasons. An Act of 1587 set the presence of the Shire Commissioners on a more regularized footing. The Scottish Parliament regularly delegated its authority to committees and commissions.
Committees reported back to Parliament. Commissions had power to determine matters referred to them. The second, the Committee for Falsing of Dooms (ie. appeals from judgements) ceased around 1544.
