the first scottish executive was committed to abolishing the anachronism of the feudal system. on 28 november 2004, the "abolition of feudal tenure etc. (scotland) act 2000" came into full force and effect, putting an end to scotland's feudal system. under scots law, a scottish prescriptive barony by tenure is now "incorporeal feudal heritage", not attached to the land and remains the only genuine, "prescriptive", degree of title of uk nobility capable of being bought and sold – since under section 63(1) of the act, the dignity of baron is preserved after the abolition of the feudal system. however, the abolition act did end the ability to get feudal land privileges by inheriting or acquiring the "caput" (land or castle) in scotland. in common law jurisdictions, land may still be owned and inherited through a barony if the land is titled in "the baron of x" as baron rather than in the individual's name. in america, it passes with the barony as a fee simple appurtenance to an otherwise incorporeal hereditament, the barony being treated like a landowning corporation. in scotland, the practice has not been tested in a court of session case since the act.
