PROVOST ELIZABETH PARK
On Tuesday 9th November 2021 at the AGM of the Court of the Deacons of the Ancient and Royal Burgh of Linlithgow, Provost John Cunningham passed the chain of office to Provost Elizabeth Park.
Provost Park comes to office as the first female Provost and will be supported by Senior Bailie Derek Green, Middle Bailie Lee Frickleton, Baron Bailie Martin Brown, and newly elected Junior Bailie William Calder.
Long Live the Marches.
The Riding of the Marches of the Ancient and Royal Burgh of Linlithgow is a tradition dating back to the 16th century. In the 21st century the Riding is essentially just as it was in the early years of the 20th and the thriving Deacons’ Court will continue to organise the Riding on the first Tuesday after the second Thursday in June every year.
You can find out about the history of The Marches and information about Marches Day from the pages indexed on the menu bar above.
