  Hereditary peer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Scotland, "baron" is a feudal rank, and not one of the Peerage.
In this case, the peer's eldest son may use one of the father's subsidiary titles as a "courtesy title", but the son is not considered a peer.
In 1919, King George V issued an Order-in-Council suspending the Dukedom of Albany (together with its subsidiary peerages, the Earldom of Clarence and the Barony of Arklow), the Dukedom of Cumberland and Teviotdale (along with the Earldom of Armagh) and the Viscountcy of Taaffe (along with the Barony of Ballymote).

As feudal dignities were in their origin inseparable Peerage from the tenure of land it is not surprising that they too followed a similar course of descent, although as the idea of a dignity being exclusively personal gradually emerged, some necessary deviations from the rules of law relating to the descent of land inevitably resulted.
In some cases where it was intended to call a son up in his father's barony, a mistake in the name has been made with the result that a new peerage by writ of summons has been created.
In the first case the writ of summons is issued forthwith, but the second, being one of abeyance, is a matter for the pleasure of the Crown, which need not be exercised at all, but, if exercised, may terminate the abeyance in favour of any one of the co-heirs.

In some cases where it was in-tended to call a son up is, his father's barony, a mistake in the name has been made with the result that a new peerage by writ of summons has been created.
Every peerage descends according to the limitations prescribed in its patent of creation or its charter, and where these are non-existent (as in the case of baronies by writ) to heirs-general.
The grant of a peerage is a very different matter; its holder becomes thereby a member of the Upper House of Parliament, and therefore the prerogative of the Crown in creating such an office of honour must be exercised strictly in accordance with the law of the land.

 THE LAW OF ARMS IN NEW ZEALAND
A coat of arms is a fief annoblissant, similar to a Scottish territorial peerage or barony(32), the grant of which provides, as every Scottish patent of arms states, that the grantee is a "noble of the noblesse of Scotland"(33).
In the former case, the statute also empowers local councils to define their own coats of arms, an action which is tantamount to assuming legally valid arms.
The Manchester Corporation Case was concerned with the judicial authority of the Earl Marshal's Court to regulate the use of arms, and did not specifically consider the executive authority of the kings of arms to grant arms.
