The constituency was created in 1832 by the Scottish Reform Act 1832 by a merger of two former constituencies: Elginshire and Nairnshire. It extended to the counties of Elginshire and Nairnshire, with the exception of the burghs of Elgin, Nairn and Forres which were instead part of Inverness Burghs and Elgin Burghs.
It was replaced in 1918 by the new Moray and Nairn constituency, which includes all of Elginshire and Nairnshire, including of the burghs of Elgin, Nairn and Forres.
