The New Lord Lyon

[gilmore]

Actually, that's what I had intended so say.

I was under the impression that Lord Lyon Blair issued a statement to the effect that he would not recognize feudal barons; further that the "heritable additiments" of feudal barons (red chapeau, etc.) were for the chop.

Now I know that Lochnaw and others took a contrary position- did Lord Lyon Blair "stand fast" or "climb down"?

As I recall, the previous Lord Lyon's position was that he would recognize existing ones, but not those held by transfer in the future, since there is no authoritative method of recording the transference of title.

I will do a websearch.

After a somewhat cursory websearch, I haven't found a definitive answer. However, I did come across 2 more feudal baronies for sale at the asking prices of GBP 50,000 and 55,000.
