Scottish Peers
Scottish Peers are members of the Scottish nobility who hold titles such as Duke, Marquess, Earl, Viscount, or Baron. These titles are often hereditary, passed down through generations, and are associated with land ownership and historical significance in Scotland. The Scottish Peerage has a rich history, with many titles dating back to the medieval period.
In the modern context, Scottish Peers can participate in the House of Lords, the upper house of the UK Parliament, where they may contribute to legislative discussions. The House of Lords includes both life peers, appointed for their lifetime, and hereditary peers, who inherit their titles.
