[edit] Lieutenancy areas of Scotland
The lieutenancy areas of Scotland are the areas covered by lord-lieutenants, the monarch's representatives, in Scotland. Until 1975 the lieutenancy areas were also counties but, for most purposes, Scottish counties were abolished by the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973 and replaced by two-tier regions and districts and unitary islands council areas, and the regions and districts were abolished by the Local Government etc (Scotland) Act 1994 and replaced by unitary council areas. Except for Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, and Glasgow, lieutenancy areas are now defined in reference to current and a variety of different historic local government boundaries.
The Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, and Glasgow lieutenancy areas are also, repectively, the Aberdeen City, Dundee City, City of Edinburgh, and Glasgow City council areas, and the Lord Provost of each city also acts as the lord-lieutenant. This is a unique right in the United Kingdom: all other lord-lieutenants are appointed by the monarch, rather than being elected politicians.

[edit] Lord Lieutenant of Perth and Kinross
The Lord Lieutenant of Perth and Kinross, is the British monarch's personal representative in an area which was defined by the Lord-Lieutenants (Scotland) Order 1996 [1] as consisting of the unitary Perth and Kinross council area, in Scotland.
The lieutenancy area was previously defined by the the Lord-Lieutenants (Scotland) Order 1975 as consisting of the Perth and Kinross district, which was one of three districts of the two-tier Tayside region created by the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973 and abolished by the Local Government etc (Scotland) Act 1994, which divided the region between the Angus, Dundee City, and Perth and Kinross council areas. Prior to the 1975 order the lieutenancy area consisted of the county of Perth and the county of Kinross.
Hence the office replaced those of Lord Lieutenant of Perthshire and the Lord Lieutenant of Kinross-shire in 1975.
