	THE SCOTTISH BARONIAL -
		The Scottish Baronial style was a 19th century revival of Scottish architectural forms taking its inspiration from the buildings of the Scottish Renaissance.
		The Scottish Baronial was also seen by both the established aristocracy and the newly rich Victorians as an architectural style which established lairdly credentials, particularly as it imitated the style adopted by the monarchy for their principal home in the Scottish Highlands.
		The Scottish Baronial house was, therefore, an attempt to answer a specific demand in Scotland for new or enlarged houses in a historical style.

	Scottish feudal baronies (feudal barons, feudal baron) including the oath of a knight (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Since a barony was legally attached to the caput rather than the lands, a baron could (and sometimes did) dispose of the lands but if he retained the caput (or the feudal superiority of the caput) he also retained the barony, that is the jurisdiction.
		In the former case the lands cease to be part of the barony and hence are no longer subject to the baronial jurisdiction (the lands fall within the jurisdiction of the local Sheriff Court); in the latter case the lands continue to be within the barony and hence subject to the baronial jurisdiction.
		Feudal baronies are baronies by tenure, i.e., by possession of the pertinent land.

	SCOTTISH MEDIAEVAL BARONIES
		Scottish Baronial Titles, many centuries old, are usually tied to specific pieces of land or specific buildings.
		Baronies which sell for less than £50,000 are considered supect, because there is usually very little hope that The Lord Lyon, who is The Queen's representative in Scotland, would be able to matriculate arms for a new owner.
		Some purchasers find that a barony can be a sound financial investment, as it may later be sold for a margin, but most just like the idea of being part of maintaining and helping preserve history.

		The term "manor house" is not particularly Scottish, nor is a Scots laird a "lord of the manor," but the feudal similarities are there -- at least until the Victorian period and the pervasive influence of Sir Walter Scott.
		In practice, the Norman feudal pattern arrived in Scotland very shortly after it was brought to England, and Queen Margaret and her sons formalized the system in the 12th century.
		However, there is also a great deal of ethnography (e.g., the "separateness" of Fife) and family history threaded throughout, including notes on the Setons, Hopes, Clerks, Forbeses, Grants, Lindsays, and the Earls of Moray, among many others.
