Dysart was a burgh of barony at least as early as 1510, it was re-erected burgh of barony in 1549, and this was still its status in 1699. However, it appeared in Parliament in 1593/4, from which date, at least, it must for practical purposes be counted as a royal burgh, for, despite many 16th- and 17th-century documents attesting its status as a burgh of barony, no objections appear to have been raised to its enjoyment of the priviliges of a royal burgh.
