While landowners belonging to the Episcopal Church were refused registration, those heritors who conformed to Presbytery were in the baptismal registers honoured to excess. The most inconsiderable landowner and his wife, who resided upon their estates, were on baptismal occasions registered as "the laird" and "lady." Thus, when Margaret Lauder, wife of John Fairholm of Baberton, brought him a son on the 21st May 1705, the session-clerk of Currie intimated in the register that on that day "George, son to the Laird and Lady Baberton, was born."
