List of lords provost inEdinburgh City Chambers

The Right HonourableLord Provost of Edinburgh is theconvener of theCity of Edinburgh Council. They are elected by the city council and serve not only as the chair of that body, but as a figurehead for the entire city. They are alsoex officio theLord-Lieutenant of Edinburgh. They are equivalent in many ways to the institution ofMayor that exists in many other countries.

While some ofScotland's local authorities elect a Provost, only the four main cities (Edinburgh,Glasgow,Aberdeen andDundee) have a Lord Provost. In Edinburgh this position dates from 1667, whenCharles II elevated the Provost to the status of Lord Provost, with the same rank and precedence as the Lord Mayor of London. The title of Lord Provost is enshrined in theLocal Government etc. (Scotland) Act 1994.
