Le Lord Provost est le représentant de l'autorité municipale dans les principales villes d'Écosse.
Quatre villes seulement (Aberdeen, Dundee, Édimbourg et Glasgow) ont le droit de nommer un Lord Provost à leur tête au lieu d'un maire. Les Lord Provost d'Édimbourg ou Glasgow portent le titre The Right Honourable devant leur nom.
Un Lord Provost a un statut protocolaire supérieur à celui d'un Lord Mayor. Il est de droit le Lord Lieutenant de sa ville - en permettant au conseil municipal de choisir son propre représentant de la reine.
