Question

What is a scottish lord know as?

Answer 1

In case the previous answers didn't get at what you wanted to know, I'll add that lord and baron are two separate things in Scotland, unlike elsewhere in the UK. In the peerages of England, Great Britain, Ireland and the UK, the lowest rank is baron and they are commonly called lord. In Scotland, the lowest rank is lord and the barons are a separate class, who do not have the same political rights (sitting in parliament as of right or through election to the House of Lords, from 1707 to 1963 and again since 1999) as Scottish lords/English barons.

Answer 10

Laird is a hereditary title for the owner of a landed estate in Scotland. The title of Laird may carry certain local or feudal rights, though unlike a Lordship, a Lairdship has never carried voting rights, either in the historic Parliament of Scotland or in the House of Lords.

Though traditionally translated as "Lord", Laird is not a title of nobility. Unlike Lord of the Manor titles the title of laird is a 'corporeal heriditament' (an inheritable property that has an explicit tie to the physical land) i.e. the title can not be held in gross, and can not be bought and sold without selling the physical land. In more recent times some female Lairds have opted to use the title Lady instead.
