A point I forgot: Anne says: "However the various reorganisations affected only local government. For ceremonial purposes the traditional counties remain unchanged; in other words the Queen's Lord Lieutenant for the county of Angus still includes Dundee in his/her patch, and it remains perfectly correct to say that Dundee is in the County of Angus, even though there is no longer an Angus County Council responsible for the administrative functions of the local authority". It is my understanding that Lord Provost Letford of Dundee is Lord Lieutenant of the city while Mrs Georgina Osborne occupies that office for Angus.

Many thanks for a very clear and concise explanation - from one who was born and bred in Dundee - and thoroughly confused by the various 'reorganisations' the happened whilst I was living in the deep south of England and not paying attention to what was happening 'at home' because I was too busy bringing up a family!!

Although part of the County of Banff is now in Moray, and the rest in Aberdeenshire, there is still a Lord Lieutenant of the County of Banff, whose patch is the historic county, and there are even road signs to tell you when you enter it.
