Counties Flowers of Scotland
The counties of Scotland that are appointed a Lord-Lieutenant are called lieutenancy areas. In Scotland, the Administration arms of local authorities counties, created nether the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1889, were transferred inwards 1975 nether the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973, to the Administration of regions as well as districts as well as islands council areas. District Council regions as well as districts were themselves abolished inwards 1996, nether the Local Government etc. (Scotland) Act 1994, inwards favour of unitary Scottish council areas. (The islands areas had been created every bit unitary council areas, as well as their boundaries were unaffected.) The 1889 legislation created county councils, turned each civil county (with i exception) into a contiguous surface area (without split upwards fragments) as well as adjusted boundaries where civil parishes straddled county boundaries, or had fragments inwards to a greater extent than than i county. The counties of Ross as well as Cromarty were merged to cast Ross as well as Cromarty. One percentage as well as diverse districts, created inwards 1975, had areas similar to those of before counties, as well as diverse council areas, created inwards 1996, are likewise similar. Two of the 3 islands areas—Orkney as well as Shetland—have boundaries identical to those of before counties.
