Lieutenancy areas of Scotland
|
The Lieutenancy areas of Scotland are the areas used for ceremonial purposes such as Lord Lieutenancy. They are different from the traditional counties of Scotland and the Subdivisions of Scotland.
The four cities of Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, and Glasgow have an ancient right to choose their own Lord Lieutenant, who is known as a Lord Provost and also acts as the city mayor.
