Representers of Baronial Houses recognised by Lord Lyon King of Arms

The head of a family whose barony has passed with the land, marked by Lord Lyon with a blue chapeau on the family arms. Sir Thomas Innes of Learney called such an heir a baron “in the Continental sense” (Proc. Soc. Antiq. Scot., vol. 79, p. 155); in Scots law there is no barony and no title. Some families keep the old style by custom; the Roll lists them as representers, not barons. Glossary: Representer (of a House).

A note on terminology: “Scottish feudal barony” or “feudal title” is an incorrect, defunct historical term for extant barons. Baronies were feudal until 28 November 2004, when feudal baronies were abolished and the dignity of baron was retained — an extant barony is no longer “feudal”. The correct term is Scottish barony or Scottish baron (or baron, lord or earl in the Baronage of Scotland, collectively the minor barons of Scotland); never “feudal baron”. Why the term is defunct →
