    The Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973 (1973 c. 65) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, that reformed local government in Scotland, on May 16, 1975. The Act followed and largely implemented the report of the Royal Commission on Local Government in Scotland in 1969 (the Wheatley Report) and it made the most far-reaching changes in Scottish local government in a century or more. It swept away the counties, large burghs and small burghs and districts established by the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1947, and replaced it by a uniform two-tier system of regional and district councils (except in the islands, which were given unitary, all-purpose councils). In England and Wales, the Local Government Act 1972 established a similar system of two-tier administrative county and district councils.
