Information About

Lord Provost




A Lord Provost is the figurative and ceremonial head of the four principal cities in Scotland , but with a higher status than an English Lord Mayor .

Four cities, Aberdeen , Dundee , Edinburgh and Glasgow have the right to appoint a Lord Provost instead of a Provost (mayor).

A privilege beyond that given to Lord Mayors is that the Lord Provost is Ex Officio the Lord-Lieutenant for that city - allowing them to choose their own representative from the Queen.
