A note on terminology: “Scottish feudal barony” is an incorrect, defunct historical term for extant barons. Baronies were feudal until 28 November 2004, when feudal baronies were abolished and the dignity of baron was retained — an extant barony is no longer “feudal”. The correct term is Scottish barony or Scottish baron (or Baron in the Baronage of Scotland); never “feudal baron”. Why the term is defunct →
