Civic Chains
Argyll and Bute Council does not have a civic chain representative of the authority. However the nine former Town Councils which represented the area prior to a reorganisation of local government in Scotland in 1975, each had a civic chain which was worn by the Town’s Provost. These chains have become the responsibility of Argyll and Bute Council and are occasionally worn at important events by the Convener.
