Ayton Castle, Scottish Borders, caput of the barony of Ayton. Built in 1851 in the Scottish Baronial style by William Mitchell-Innes, then baron of Ayton, to the design of James Gillespie Graham

In Scotland, the titles of "baron" or "baroness" refer to holders of a barony within the Baronage of Scotland, a rank of the ancient Scottish nobility. These are hereditary titles of honour,[2][3] traditionally granted by Crown charter as free baronies. Their legal recognition is upheld by various institutions, including the Court of the Lord Lyon,[4] the Scottish Parliament,[5] institutional writers[6][7] and official sources such as the Scottish Law Commission.[8][9]

Although being historically referred to as feudal barons, this terminology has become obsolete. Following the Abolition of Feudal Tenure etc. (Scotland) Act 2000, which came into force in 2004, Scottish baronies ceased to be connected to land ownership. They became non-territorial dignities, or personal honours in law, with no associated land rights.[10] The correct modern usage is simply "baron".[11]

Scottish barons are recognised as noble[12] but are not peers and do not belong to the Peerage of Scotland. By contrast, an English barony is a peerage title, though under the Tenures Abolition Act 1660, some feudal baronies remain as baronies held by free socage. The peerage status of Scottish barons is disputed;[13] they are considered minor barons, holding noble titles of lower rank than peers. The Scottish equivalent of an English baron is a Lord of Parliament, which is a peerage title and ranks above a baron. Scottish barons are acknowledged as titled nobility, affirmed by the Lyon Court's 1943 Petition of Maclean of Ardgour, which recognised barones minores (minor barons) as part of Scotland's historic feudal nobility.[14]

Scottish baronies are unique among British noble titles in that they may be succeeded by alienation, not solely by inheritance. Unlike peerage titles, they are not governed by strict succession rules and have remainders to "heirs and assignees", as stated in Crown charters. These titles are also excluded from the Honours (Prevention of Abuses) Act 1925, since they are not newly created honours but existing dignities recognised in law.

The heraldic privileges associated with baronies are regulated by the Lord Lyon King of Arms, who retains authority over arms in Scotland. A Scottish barony may be inherited or alienated to any individual, regardless of gender.[15] The institution of the Scottish baronage predates the Scottish peerage, and the two continue to coexist.

## History

[edit]

Scottish baronies were historically the only form of British nobility held by prescriptive feudal tenure, capable of being disponed with the land or the caput (seat) rather than passing solely through hereditary succession. The earliest formal structuring of the Scottish table of precedence appears in 1592 statutes and King Charles I's warrants, which positioned barons as ranking below baronets and knights, but above lairds, esquires, and gentlemen. Sir Thomas Innes of Learney explained that the 1672 Act, cap. 47, classified ranks as peers, barons (if without a fief, equivalent to heads of Continental baronial houses), and gentlemen (including all other armigers).[16] In this framework, baronets and knights were considered gentlemen and thus ranked below barons. Though a barony was not a peerage, it was recognised as a noble dignity, and titles such as "Baron of X" reflected the territorial nature of Scottish nobility.

The General Register of Sasines, established by statute in 1617, allowed baronies to be legally registered, granting prescriptive rights to the caput over time. Possession of the land containing the caput conferred the title of baron or baroness. In 1672, the Lyon Register was created to regulate armorial bearings; no arms could be legally used in Scotland unless recorded therein, resolving disputes over heraldic rights.

Until 1874, new barons were confirmed by the Crown through charters of confirmation. By law, a Scottish barony required a Crown charter erecting the land into a barony, recorded in the Register of the Great Seal of Scotland. Even if the original charter was lost, an official extract carried the same legal weight. Barons held their estates directly of the Crown or the Prince and Great Steward of Scotland, and the barony's legal status depended on this superior feudal relationship.

Scottish barons were part of the political structure of pre-Union Scotland. They sat in the Parliament of Scotland as members of the Second Estate. In 1428, lesser barons were permitted to elect commissioners to represent them, due to the burdens of travel. These representatives joined the Third Estate alongside burgh and shire commissioners, though the barons retained their personal right to attend until the Union of 1707. Greater barons often gained peerages over time, becoming lords of parliament, earls, or dukes, while lesser barons retained local influence, particularly through baron's courts and administrative roles.

Following the 1707 Acts of Union, legislative power affecting Scottish private law transferred to the unified British Parliament at Westminster. This arrangement remained in place until the establishment of the devolved Scottish Parliament in 1999. During this period, landowners often used "prescriptive feudal grants" to impose perpetual obligations - called real burdens - on land, which were recognised by courts and functioned similarly to English leaseholds.

The first Scottish Government (or Executive) was committed to abolishing the feudal system. This culminated in the Abolition of Feudal Tenure etc. (Scotland) Act 2000, which came fully into effect on 28 November 2004. With the Act, the feudal system was abolished, and baronies became incorporeal hereditaments[17][18] \- intangible in status, similar to hereditary peerages, baronetcies, and coats of arms. Although baronies no longer conferred any legal right to land, the Act explicitly preserved their status as a dignity.[19][20][21] This marked the end of the ability to acquire a barony by purchasing land containing the caput.

Baronies are now fully "floating"[clarification needed] under Scots law and can be freely assigned or bequeathed. If a baron dies intestate, the dignity is inherited according to the pre-1964 rules of succession, preserved for titles and dignities by the Succession (Scotland) Act 1964.[22][23] The Court of the Lord Lyon, as the heraldic authority of Scotland, continues to regulate the heraldic aspects of baronies. The holder of a barony may petition the Lyon Court for a grant of arms and is entitled to bear the appropriate helm and additaments befitting the dignity.[24] However, the Lyon Court has no jurisdiction over the legal assignation of baronies, which is a matter of civil law.[citation needed]

Most Scottish baronies were created prior to 1745, though some were erected as late as 1824. One of the oldest surviving baronies, the Baron of the Bachuil, is exceptional in that it does not depend on land ownership. Instead, the title passes with possession of an ancient staff known as the Bachuil Mór, once belonging to Saint Moluag. The lawful possessor of the staff is recognised as the Baron of the Bachuil, irrespective of any landholding - a tradition predating the feudal system itself.[citation needed]

Although Scottish baronies are now entirely incorporeal in law, in some common law jurisdictions outside Scotland, particularly the United States, a barony may still be treated as a landholding entity. In these cases, land titled to "the Baron of X" is considered held in a fee simple attached to the barony.[25] This concept has not yet been tested in the Scottish courts.

## Styles and forms of address

[edit]

Scottish baronial titles are typically used by landed families not possessing a British peerage title of higher rank, a knighthood, or similar distinction. The name recorded by the Lord Lyon King of Arms in a grant of arms or matriculation becomes the holder's official name for all purposes. Holders of a Scottish barony may incorporate the title into their name as "John Doe, Baron of X" or "Jane Doe, Baroness of X". If still in possession of the caput, they may use a territorial designation, such as "John Doe of X, Baron of X" or "Jane Doe of X, Baroness of X". Some ancient Scottish families prefer to be styled solely by the territorial designation, such as "Doe of X".[26][27][28]

Socially, they may be addressed as "Baron of X", "Baroness of X", or simply "X". When introduced or referred to in the third person, the correct form is "John Doe of X, Baron of X" or "The Baron of X" for males, and "Jane Doe, Baroness of X" or "The Baroness of X" for females. It is incorrect to use "Baron X" or "Lord X", as these imply a peerage title, such as Lord of Parliament.[29] Female barons, whether substantive holders or wives, may also be addressed as "Lady X" without the "of",[30] following the social custom for female lairds or their wives.

In a heterosexual married couple where the husband holds the barony, the wife is granted a courtesy title. They may be styled as "The Baron and Baroness of X", "X and Madam Doe of X", "X and Lady X", or "The Baron of X and Lady X".[26] The husband of a baroness does not receive a courtesy title. The eldest son of a baron or baroness may use the territorial designation with the suffix "yr" (younger), such as "James Doe of X, yr". The eldest daughter may be styled with "Maid of X" appended to her name, such as "Sandra Doe, Maid of X".

For use on United Kingdom passports, the applicant must provide evidence that the Lord Lyon has recognised the barony or that the title is listed in Burke's Peerage. If approved, the territorial designation is included as part of the surname, such as "Doe of X". An observation[31] may note the full title, for example, "The holder is John Doe, Baron of X".[32] In formal correspondence or on envelopes, the honorific prefix The Much Honoured (abbreviated as The Much Hon.) distinguishes Scottish barons and baronesses from peers e.g. The Much Honoured Baron of X or The Much Honoured Baroness of X.[citation needed]

## Heraldry

[edit]

A Scottish baron's helmet An azure chapeau

Barons in Scotland may wear two eagle feathers when dressed in traditional attire.[33][34] For those belonging to a clan, the wearing of feathers is subject to consultation with the clan chief regarding clan customs and traditions, as the Lord Lyon provides guidance but does not govern this practice. From the 1930s to 2004, when new arms were granted or existing arms were matriculated with recognition of a barony, the owner could petition for a chapeau or cap of maintenance as part of their armorial achievement. This chapeau, described as gules doubled ermine, was used for barons in possession of the caput of the barony, while an azure chapeau was deemed suitable for heirs of ancient baronial families no longer owning the estates. The chapeau was a relatively modern armorial addition introduced by the late Lyon Innes of Learney. Consequently, many ancient baronial arms do not feature the chapeau, and it is no longer granted.

Following the Treaty of Perth in 1266, Norway ceded its claim to the Hebrides and Man, integrating them into Scotland. In 1292, Argyll was established as a shire, making barons of Argyll and the Isles, which predated the Kingdom of Scotland, eligible to attend the Parliament of Scotland, as recorded at the parliament in St Andrews in 1309. Historically, these barons also used a chapeau described as gules doubled ermines, with the notable distinction that ermines refers to white tails on a black field. A notable exception exists with the Barony of the Bachuil, which is allodial rather than feudal, predating Scotland and its feudal system from the Gaelic Kingdom of Dál Riata (AD 562). As an allodial baron par la grâce de Dieu (by the Grace of God), not by feudal crown grant, the Baron of the Bachuil is uniquely permitted to use a chapeau lined with vair (squirrel fur).[35]

"a barony falls into the class of noble as opposed to ignoble feus. That classification is discussed by Craig (Jus Feudale, I.x.16) and Bankton (II.iii.83). In Scotland the distinction was recognised between the greater barons and the lesser barons, the former acquiring such titles as Duke or Earl. It was at the earliest a territorial dignity as distinct from the later personal peerage. Thus when one was divested of an estate the TITLE OF HONOUR ceased (Bankton, IL.iii.84). In the feudal system, however, whether the dignity was that of a baron or of the greater dignity of an earldom, the feudal effects were the same (Erskine's Institute, I].iii.46)."
