According to an article in the Sunday Times in Scotland, while lord provost of Glasgow, the politician Baillie Liz Cameron racked up 'travel expenses of £60,000, 11 times the amount spent by her counterpart in Edinburgh, Lesley Hinds. ... The lord provost’s travels included an indispensable trip to New York for its Tartan Day celebrations, at a cost of £17,000. A visit to Sri Lanka after the tsunami racked up another £12,000, though ironically its purpose was to see how relief money raised in Glasgow was being spent.' [1]

In 2006, Liz Cameron was made an officer of the Orde des Arts et des Lettres, one of France's leading cultural decorations. [2]
