For almost 100 years until local government reorganisation in 1975, the affairs of the burgh were managed by the elected town council.
28 provosts served the burgh of Newport-on-Tay between 1887 and 1975.
The boundary of the Newport Police Burgh was defined by large stones. Some of these boundary stones can still be spotted today.
Just a few of the events organised by the town council during the time they controlled the affairs of the burgh.
There were 28 provosts between 1887 and 1975. They are all shown here.
