Now set in Provost's Park, the Provost's lamp was originally placed outside the house of the Provost of Bridge of Allan during his term of office. Provost lamps are special decorative street lights found in some Scottish towns, used to denote the residence of the Provost, a local official equivalent to a mayor.
