In 1975, legislation passed by the conservative government of Edward Heath introduced the system of two-tier government of Scotland. According to this sytem the whole of Scotland was divided into large regional councils and smaller district councils. The only exception of these were the three Island councils: western isles, shetlan and Orkney. The conservative government of John Major decided to abolish this system between 1990-1997. The new council thus formed vary in size. The four city councils thus formed are: Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Dundee. Each of the councils hace a Lord Provost rather than a Provost.
