Established in 2002 and abolished in 2013, all three terms of office were served by Stuart Drummond, who was first elected under the guise of H'Angus the Monkey, the town's football club's mascot.
The office was established in 2002 following a referendum the previous year in which governance by a directly elected mayor was favoured over a cabinet system.
Another referendum in 2012 produced the converse result, and the office was abolished in May 2013.
