Wikipedia guidlines say be bold so I was and created this article. One shouldnt really merge it with lord as it is something entirely different. Its not very long at the moment so I'm hoping someone can help add a little something. Thanks! --Camaeron 13:58, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Good idea and long overdue I say. I wikified what you started, but I'm sure a lot more could be said about the subject. Jonathan Oldenbuck 14:30, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Is this page really a high importance subject? If so why have I only just created it? I have looked everywhere on the net for more info but all that keeps coming up are those silly "buy a lairdship" cons. Perhaps a subheading about them would be an idea? --Camaeron 15:26, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Well, I would have thought so... The Laird is certainly an important figure in Scottish social history, I should think. As for why its only just been created, sometimes things get overlooked I suppose, especially when they redirect to something else. Anything relevant can be added, so yes, maybe the practice of selling lairdships should be covered too. Jonathan Oldenbuck 15:56, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
