Old Photograph Lord Provost of the City of Edinburgh Scotland
Old photograph the Lord Provost of the City of Edinburgh, Scotland. A Lord Provost is convenor of the local authority, the civic head and the lord lieutenant of one of the principal cities of Scotland. The role is similar to that of a mayor. Only the cities of Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow have a Lord Provost; other Scottish local authorities have provosts. A Lord Provost has a higher status than a Lord Mayor in other parts of the United Kingdom. He is ex officio the lord-lieutenant for that city, in accordance with section 1 of the Lieutenancies Act 1997, which allows the city council to choose its own representative for the monarch. The Lord Provosts of Edinburgh and Glasgow enjoy the style of " The Right Honourable " before their names. Permission to use the title is granted to a city by the monarch, under the royal prerogative, acting on the advice of government ministers. Blog post of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to travel and visit one day.
