The lieutenancy areas o Scotland (Inglis: Lieutenancy areas of Scotland) are the areas uised for the ceremonial lord-lieutenants, the monarch's representatives, in Scotland. They are different from the local government council areas, the committee areas, the sheriffdoms, the registration counties, the former regions and districts, the former counties of Scotland, and the sindry other subdivisions of Scotland.
The Lord Provosts o Aiberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, an Glesgae an aa act ex officio as lord-lieutenants. This is a unique richt in the Unitit Kinrick: aw ither lord-lieutenants are appointed bi the monarch, rather than being electit politeecians.
