While Scotland was not involved in the landing, by November 1688 only a tiny minority supported James. Many of those who accompanied William were Scots exiles, including [[George Melville, 1st Earl of Melville|the Earl of Melville]], [[Archibald Campbell, 1st Duke of Argyll|the Duke of Argyll]], his personal chaplain [[William Carstares]] and [[Gilbert Burnet]].{{Sfn|Harris|2006|p=165}} News of James's flight led to celebrations and anti-Catholic riots in Edinburgh and Glasgow. Most members of the [[Scottish Privy Council]] went to London. On 7 January 1689, they asked William to take over government. Elections were held in March for a [[Convention of the Estates of Scotland|Scottish Convention]], which was also a contest between Presbyterians and Episcopalians for control of the Kirk. While only 50 of the 125 delegates were classed as Episcopalian, they were hopeful of victory since William supported the retention of bishops.{{Sfn|Harris|2006|pp=379–381}}

On 16 March a Letter from James was read out to the convention, demanding obedience and threatening punishment for non-compliance. Public anger at its tone meant some Episcopalians stopped attending the convention, claiming to fear for their safety and others changed sides.{{Sfn|Szechi|1994|pp=30–31}} The 1689–1691 Jacobite Rising forced William to make concessions to the Presbyterians, ended Episcopacy in Scotland and excluded a significant portion of the political class. Many later returned to the Kirk but [[Nonjuring schism|Non-Juring Episcopalianism]] was the key determinant of [[Jacobitism|Jacobite]] support in [[Jacobite rising of 1715|1715]] and [[Jacobite rising of 1745|1745]].{{Sfn|Szechi|Sankey|2001|p=97}}

The English Parliament held that James 'abandoned' his throne. The Convention argued that he 'forfeited' it by his actions, as listed in the Articles of Grievances.{{Sfn|''University of St. Andrews''}} On 11 April, the Convention ended James's reign and adopted the Articles of Grievances and the [[Claim of Right Act 1689|Claim of Right Act]], making Parliament the primary legislative power in Scotland.{{Sfn|Coward|1980|p=460}} On 11 May, William and Mary accepted the Crown of Scotland; after their acceptance, the ''Claim'' and the ''Articles'' were read aloud, leading to an immediate debate over whether or not an endorsement of these documents was implicit in that acceptance.{{Citation needed|date=June 2019}}{{Sfn|Troost|2005|p=}}{{Page needed|date=November 2022}}
