Is the name 'Harding' Scottish?

[MacWage]

OK, my spelling started this mess, so HERE are links to who I am talking about:
General- http://www.houseofharden.com/cowdenknowes/
The Barony- http://www.houseofharden.com/cowdenknowes/history.htm

From THAT site:
"The Barony today, is in the possession of the Harden Family. The first Harden to hold the Title was Barry George Harden (As recognized by Letters Patent from the Lord Lyon, King of Arms). Barry was born 1945 to William Harden, of Gillingham, Kent, a Decorated longtime member of the Royal West Kent Regiment. In August of 2006, The Barony was passed down to the current and 16th Baron, Mark Harden of Cowdenknowes ( View Armorial Achievements and Heraldry of the Harden's of Cowdenknowes)."

As to the validity/relevance of a barony, I'll leave THAT up to the parties here.

Mark's heraldry:

Mark, however, wears the feathers and works with Lord Lyon, SO I assume he knows SOMETHING about it and has "rights" to what he claims.

I'm OFF THIS THREAD NOW!

Also:
The mention of the Standing Council was off my memory. I am not sure if that is correct or not. I THINK it is correct, but am not sure. If wrong, I appologize for my mis-information.
