In the records that follow before the reign of John Balliol, the criteria for inclusion has been either the use of the word colloquium in the document itself, or another Scottish record alleging that an assembly was colloquium or parliament. English sources recording Scottish colloquia and parliaments are noted, but not included in full as they are not reliable sources for the terminology adopted by the Scots themselves for their assemblies.

The precise date of this colloquium, according to the year given, cannot be dated more precisely than between 25 March 1235 and 24 March 1236. In later reigns it would be usual for a letter recording events at a parliament to be written soon after the events took place, as the parties concerned naturally desired an official record of proceedings. Royal documents were issued at Edinburgh in early April 1236 (J. M. Soutar, Regesta Regum Scottorum (Edinburgh, 1959), nos 212-24), which plausibly could place the king’s presence at his ‘colloquium’ in nearby Kirkliston in late March 1236.

NAS, GD55/198. Great seal in red wax of Alexander II attached. The use of the word colloquium in a Scottish governmental source to refer to an assembly at Kirkliston in 1235 marks the first surviving evidence for a parliamentary assembly in Scotland.
