A Lord Provost is the Scottish equivalent of a Lord Mayor.

Four cities, Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow have the right to appoint a Lord Provost instead of a provost (mayor).

A privilege beyond that given to Lord Mayors is that the Lord Provost is ex officio the Lord-Lieutenant for that city - allowing them to choose their own representative from the Queen.
