From 1708 to 1832 they were paired as alternating constituencies: one of the constituencies elected a Member of Parliament to one parliament, the other to the next.
From 1832, the two were joined by the Representation of the People Act 1832 in a single constituency of Clackmannanshire and Kinross-shire. The constituency also included the parishes of Tulliallan, Culross and Muckhart in Perthshire, the Perthshire portions of the parishes of Logie and Fossaway, and the Stirlingshire part of the parish of Alva.
