Talk:Sir William Arbuthnot, 1st Baronet

Privy councillor
I have removed this statement, pending verification, because it is not shown on Rayment's list. I have an idea that Lord Provosts were called Rt Hon and this may be the source of a possible mis-statement. - Kittybrewster  (talk) 18:20, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
 * According to the book I have cited Lord Provosts of Edinburgh were automatically appointed to the Privy Council. David Lauder 19:40, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Which would explain why they were Rt Hon. I would think there would be confirmation in the Gazette. - Kittybrewster   (talk) 19:57, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
