With the exception of Western Isles being its own county, and the four traditional cities having, as they always have, their own lieutenants, is this really noticeably different from the old counties that existed after Ross and Cromarty were combined and the various exclaves eliminated in 1890? There were 33 counties then (not including the four cities, for a total of 37), and 35 now, with the differences being in the joining of Bute to Argyll and Kinross to Perth in the current lieutenancy areas. As it stands now, we seem to be suggesting that the division of lieutenancy areas is just as different from the traditional counties as it is from all the others, when in fact it is quite similar. john k 02:25, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
