Lairds : ウィキペディア英語版
Laird

Laird () is a generic name for the owner of a Scottish estate, roughly equivalent to an esquire in England, yet ranking above the same in Scotland. In the Scottish order of precedence, a laird ranks below a baron and above a gentleman. This rank is only held by those lairds holding official recognition in a territorial designation by the Lord Lyon King of Arms. They are usually styled () () of (), and are traditionally entitled to the place ''the Much Honoured'' before their name. The Lord Lyon, Scotland's authority on titles, has recently produced the following guidance:
Historically, the term bonnet laird was applied to rural, petty landowners, as they wore a bonnet like the non-landowning classes. Bonnet lairds filled a position in society below lairds and above husbandmen (farmers), similar to the yeomen of England.
==Etymology==

The word "laird" is known to have been used from the 15th century, and is a shortened form of ''laverd'', derived from the Old English word ''hlafweard'' meaning "warden of loaves". The word "lord" is of the same origin, and would have formerly been interchangeable with "laird"; however, in modern usage the term "lord" is associated with a peerage title, and thus the terms have come to have separate meanings.
