[edit] Feudal Baronies and Hereditary Peerages
A Scottish feudal barony used to be attached to a particular piece of land on which is the "caput" (Latin meaning 'head'), or the essence of the barony, normally a building, such as a castle or manor house. Accordingly, the individual - irrespective of sex - who owns the said piece of land containing the "caput" was the baron or baroness.
After 28 November 2004 under Scots law, a Scottish Barony that was a Scottish Prescriptive Barony by Tenure is now incorporeal feudal heritage, not attached to the land and remains the only genuine, prescriptive, degree of title of UK nobility capable of being bought and sold. The legal "trade" in these titles may be subject to change, however, and independent Scots legal advice should always be taken before entering into any contract.
Unlike the United Kingdom's system of hereditary peerages - which are, in the main, passed down the male line - Scottish feudal baronies may be passed to any person, either by sale or inheritance. [1]
This is a list of all Scottish feudal baronies. These have been created in Scotland before 1707. No Scottish feudal baronies have been created since the late 17th or early 18th century.
