List of Provosts and Lord Provosts of Aberdeen

List of Provosts and Lord Provosts of Aberdeen

The Lord Provost of the City of Aberdeen is the convener of the City of Aberdeen local authority in Scotland. 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 equivalent in many ways to the institution of Mayor that exists in many other countries.

The Lord Provost of the City of Aberdeen, by virtue of office, is also:
*Lord-Lieutenant of the City of Aberdeen
*Lord High Admiral of the Northern Seas
*Vice Admiral of the Coast of Great Britain & Ireland

Each of the 32 Scottish local authorities elects a Convener or Provost, but it is only in the four main cities, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Dundee that have a Lord Provost. This is enshrined in the Local Government etc. (Scotland) Act 1994.

The current Lord Provost is Peter J Stephen.
