Article XXIV of the [[Act of Union 1707|Treaty of Union]] provided that

The Seal was last used in 1898 to execute the commission appointing the Rev. James Cooper to a [[Professor of Ecclesiastical History, Glasgow|Regius Chair]] at the [[University of Glasgow]], but has never been abolished. The office of [[Keeper of the Privy Seal of Scotland|Keeper of the Privy Seal]] has not been filled since the death of the [[Gavin Campbell, 1st Marquess of Breadalbane|Marquess of Breadalbane]] in 1922.
