	Peerage (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		In Scotland, the term "Baron" refers to a feudal one, and not to a peer; the equivalent to the English baron is the Lord of Parliament.
		The mode of inheritance of a peerage, except in the case of life peerages, title is determined by the method of its creation.
		Since the rate at which peerages are becoming extinct is much higher than this, and since it is unlikely that even a future Conservative government will resume the creation of hereditary peerages, the peerage will tend to decline numerically.

		In Scotland feudal law was quite clear; the barony - caput, jursidiction, arms, title - went to the eldest daughter - or rather the husband of the eldest daughter- while the land might be split up amongst all the daughters.
		Modern peerages created by patent are, of course, personal dignities that pass in accordance with the destination clause in the patent of creation and peerages by writ pass to heirs general in accordance with well-established (but incorrect) rules; they are both, by their very nature, unsaleable.

		In former times in Scotland every clan and the clergy wore a distinctive "tartan" or plaid, and it was a criminal offence for one to wear a tartan to which he was not entitled.

	Errors in Burke's Peerage
		The major difficulty for modern researchers is that the importance of the peerage dignity was not viewed in 16th century Scotland with quite the same regard as is common today, and the preparation and composition then of the associated documentation was not as precise as it would be today.
		Although it is encouraging to note that for Ogilvy of Airlie the 1970 edition uses the title of Lord in the main body of the entry, the list of titles at the foot of the article allocates the abbreviation of B for Baron with the date of the 1491 creation.
		Burke's Peerage does correctly use "Henry, 3rd Lord Sinclair" in the Sinclair entry, but describes his wife Margaret as the daughter of the 1st Earl of Bothwell, whereas she was the daughter of the Master of Hailes, father of the 1st Earl, and was thus the sister, not the daughter, of the 1st Earl.
