Seven Ceremonial Lamp Posts
Two ceremonial lamp
posts are installed in front of the home of Edinburgh's Lord
Provost during his Term of Office. When he demits office,
one is removed but the other remains in position for the rest of
his life.
The photo above looks
to the NW towards the Lord Provost's house.
There are now (at February 2011) seven ceremonial lamp
posts outside the
houses of the Lord Provost and former Lord Provosts:
- two at 10 Wellhead Close, South Queensferry, the home
of the current Lord Provost, George Grubb,
- one each outside the homes of five former Lord
Provosts. |
