Credentials

  • • Verified by The Roll 4 Jun 2025 seeing original Letters Patent "registered in the Scottish Barony Register 4th October 2016 the Petitioner prima facie holds the barony of Stobo" officially recognised by Lord Lyon King of Arms 6th Oct 2018
  • • PLEDGED HEREDITARY TITLE, this label indicates that the holder has formally signed the Roll’s Baronial Pledge — a non-legal declaration of intent that the barony be preserved within the family line and treated as a hereditary dignity. The Pledge operates as a family compact, intended to be retained with the holder’s will and estate papers. In accordance with Roll policy, the title becomes unrecognised by the Roll if the barony is later conveyed outside the family.
