Editing Lord (section)

===Substantive title===
Lord is occasionally used as part of a substantive British noble title in its own right: 

In the [[Peerage of Scotland]], the members of the lowest level of the peerage have the substantive title "[[Lord of Parliament]]" rather than Baron. 

The heir to the throne in Scotland holds the title [[Lord of the Isles]]. 

In England, the title [[Lord of the Isle of Wight]] used to exist but fell out of use before the creation of the modern peerage system. 

The British sovereign is also accorded the title [[Lord of Mann]] as head of state of the Isle of Mann.

The feudal title of "Lord of the Manor" is still recognised by the British Government for any such title registered at [[HM Land Registry|His Majesty's Land Registry]] before 13 October 2003 (the commencement date of the Land Registration Act 2002) but after that date titles can no longer be registered, and any such titles voluntarily de-registered by the holder cannot later be re-registered. However any transfer of ownership of registered manors will continue to be recorded in the register, on the appropriate notification. Thus in effect the register is closed for new registrations.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.landregistry.gov.uk/professional/guides/practice-guide-22|title=Manors: manorial titles and rights (PG22) - Publications - GOV.UK|website=www.landregistry.gov.uk|date=24 June 2015 |access-date=2016-08-23}}</ref> Such titles are legally classified as "incorporeal hereditaments" as they have no physical existence,<ref>Manors: manorial titles and rights (PG22)</ref> and usually have no intrinsic value. However a lucrative market arose in the 20th century for such titles, often for purposes of vanity, which was assisted by the existence of an official register, giving the purchaser the impression of a physical existence. Whether a title of "Lord of the Manor" is registered or unregistered has no effect on its legal validity or existence, which is a matter of law to be determined by the courts. Modern legal cases have been won by persons claiming rights as lords of the manor over [[village green]]s. The heads of many ancient English land-owning families have continued to be lords of the manor of lands they have inherited. The UK Identity and Passport Service will include such titles on a British passport as an "observation" (e.g., 'The Holder is the Lord of the Manor of X'), provided the holder can provide documentary evidence of ownership.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/publications/agencies-public-bodies/ips/passports-policy-publications/observations-passports?view=Binary|title=Observations in passports - Publications - GOV.UK|website=www.homeoffice.gov.uk|access-date=2016-08-23}}</ref> The United States<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://2001-2009.state.gov/documents/organization/94676.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=2017-06-24 }}</ref> forbids the use of all titles on passports.  Australia forbids the use of titles on passports if those titles have not been awarded by the Crown (in reference to the Australian Monarchy) or the Commonwealth (in reference to the Australian Government).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.comlaw.gov.au/Details/F2013L00440/Explanatory%20Statement/Text|title=Australian Passports Amendment Determination 2013 (No. 1)|website=Federal Register of Legislation|publisher=Australian Government|access-date=23 August 2016}}</ref>
