Provost's chain of office, Tranent
This chain of office was made in 1953 by Hamilton and Inches of Edinburgh and was used by successive provosts of Tranent until the abolition of all burgh councils in 1975. The responsibilities of the town council were then absorbed by East Lothian District Council.
This is a sliver chain of flat links formed with a Celtic-knot motif. An oval pendant decorated in coloured enamels is suspended from the chain. The pendant displays a shield with the figures of an agricultural worker and a miner.
Tranent became a 'Police Burgh' in 1860 and a 'Small Burgh' in 1929: both titles granted elected commissioners and later councillors possession of authority and responsibility for certain local matters such as policing, housing, sanitation, and others.
