 Baron Did You Mean baron?
Baron is a specific title of nobility or a more generic feudal qualification.
The word baron comes from French baron, itself from Frankish baro meaning "freeman, warrior"; it merged with cognate Old English beorn meaning "nobleman." Ultimately it seems to mean a burden bearer.
The Scottish equivalent of the English baron is Lord of Parliament.

Following up the Ettrick, presently we come to the village of Ettrickbridgend, near to which are the picturesque Kirkhope Linns and Kirkhope Tower, a well preserved Border peel.
Ettrick Kirk, of course, is inalienably associated with the Rev. Thomas Boston, " Boston of Ettrick," minister of the parish for a quarter of a century, a man who left a deep mark on the religious life of Scotland.
Perhaps in Ettrick there may yet be, in cottages, an odd copy or two, belonging to, and possibly yet read by, very old people.

 Frasers and Tweedies of Tweeddale
"A baron, somewhat elderly, we may suppose, had wedded a buxom young lady, and some months after their union he went to the Crusades and left her to ply the distaff alone in his old tower, among the mountains of the County of Peebles, near the source of the Tweed.
Her family (the Frasers, it is believed) were powerful and warlike, and the baron had had fighting enough in the holy wars.
The baron, meanwhile, could not, as the old Scotch song says, ‘keep the cradle rowing,’ and the Tweed apparently thought one natural son was family enough for a decent Presbyterian lover.
