Noblesse
In Scotland, this term refers to the untitled nobility. The term, derived from French, is used in grants of arms from the Court of the Lord Lyon, the Scottish king of arms. While the concept of nobility in the UK is most commonly equated with titled nobles of peerage rank and often their family members, in Scotland the nobility also includes the untitled and minor nobility - the noblesse, to whom rightly belong lairds, esquires and gentlemen, "known" through the grant or matriculation of armorial bearings. The dignity of esquire is not officially used in Scotland as a courtesy to just any person as has become the custom in some other parts of the English-speaking world. In Scotland all legal armorial bearings have by warrant from the Lord Lyon King of Arms been entered in the Public Register of All Arms and Bearings in Scotland and are officially Ensigns of Nobility, and without such legal arms it is practically impossible to prove one's nobiliary status.
Noblesse
The concept of the Scottish Noblesse, a class of nobles of either peerage or non-peerage rank, was prominently advocated for by Sir Thomas Innes of Learney during his tenure as an officer of arms. Innes of Learney believed that Scottish armigers, those individuals granted arms by the Court of the Lord Lyon, implicitly become 'Nobles in the Noblesse of Scotland': a form of hereditary nobility. The soundness of the basis for this belief is uncertain, and included drawing on historical English practice, and the belief that, because other officers of the Crown had been delegated the power to ennoble historically, the Lord Lyon should be able to as well. Despite relying heavily on historical documentation in England, he simultaneously also opposed the application of English heraldic practice and law as it related to heraldry in Scotland.In 2018, the Lord Lyon quietly dropped the so-called nobility clause from newly issued Letters Patent.
