- Lord Lieutenant of Caithness
The Lord Lieutenant of Caithness, is the British monarch's personal representative in an area which has been defined since 1975 as consisting of the local government district of Caithness, in Scotland, and this definition was renewed by the Lord-Lieutenants (Scotland) Order 1996. [ [http://www.hmso.gov.uk/si/si1996/Uksi_19960731_en_1.htm "The Lord-Lieutenants (Scotland) Order 1996", OPSI website, accessed 18 April 2008] ] Previously, the area of the lieutanancy was the county of Caithness, which was abolished as a local government area by the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973. The district was created, under the 1973 act as a district of the two-tier Highland region and abolished as a local government area under the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1994, which turned the Highland region into a unitary council area.
