This list is of the Ceremonial Counties, known in Scotland as the Lieutenancy areas, of the United Kingdom. This is the definition generally in use today, however some of these "counties" are modern constructs and several have been disbanded.
For a more traditional version, a list ordered by Historic Counties is available here. Please note that this refers to the geographical area, where the pre-1974 admistrative county that carried that name included county boroughs, these are included within the county.
For a version of the above infomation presented in the form of Local Goverment Authority area is also available.
