Prescriptive Barony
Summary
- Scottish Prescriptive Barony by Tenure was, from 1660 until 2004, the feudal description of the only genuine degree of title of UK nobility capable of being bought and sold, (along with the Caput, or property), rather than merely passing by personal descent. Entry in the Sasine Register would give prescriptive (normal or correct usage) right, after so many years, to the caput, or the essence of the barony.
