LORD PROVOST

A 'Lord Provost' is the figurative and ceremonial head of one of the principal cities in Scotland. Four cities, Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow have the right to appoint a Lord Provost instead of a provost (mayor).
A Lord Provost has a higher status than an English Lord Mayor. He is ex officio the Lord-Lieutenant for that city - allowing the city council to choose its own representative from the Queen.
