Wikipedia
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). The Lord Provosts of Edinburgh and Glasgow enjoy the style of "The Right Honourable" before their names.
A Lord Provost has a higher status than Lord Mayor in other parts of the United Kingdom. He is ex officio the Lord Lieutenant for that city - allowing the city council to choose its own representative from the Queen.
