In Scotland, a baron or baroness is the head of a feudal barony, also known as a prescriptive barony. This used to be attached to a particular piece of land on which was situated the caput (Latin for "head") or essence of the barony, normally a building, such as a castle or manor house. Accordingly, the owner of the piece of land containing the caput was called a baron or baroness. According to Grant, there were around 350 identifiable local baronies in Scotland by the early fifteenth century and these could mostly be mapped against local parish boundaries. The term baron was in general use from the thirteenth century to describe what would have been known in England as a knight of the shire.

  • De Schotse feudale baronie is een waardigheidstitel. Na het afschaffen van 'the feudal Tenure' in een wet uit het jaar 2000, is deze los komen te staan van macht en verantwoordelijkheid. Door de wet zijn Schotse feodale baronieën ook los komen te staan van het land waar zij vroeger toe behoorden. Zo kunnen zij los van macht, verantwoordelijkheid en land verhandeld worden als waardigheidstitels. (nl)
  • Baron var i Skottland före 2004 en lågadlig titel vilken följde med äganderätten till ett baroni. Sedan 2004 är det en adelstitel som i sig är immateriell egendom utan förbindelse med ett visst jordägande. Som sådan kan den fritt köpas och säljas. Denna titel får inte förväxlas med den engelska barontiteln vilken är en pärsvärdighet. (sv)

  • Il barone era in Scozia prima del 2004 un titolo nobiliare legato alla proprietà di una baronia. Dal 2004 è un titolo nobiliare che è di per sé un bene immateriale estraneo a una determinata proprietà fondiaria. Tuttavia, il riconoscimento nobiliare, che si completa con la concessione di uno stemma e una lettera patente (Letter Patent), è prerogativa esclusiva del Lord Lyon, come suprema autorità di diretta nomina della Corona per tutte le questioni di araldica e nobiltà in Scozia.
