Lord Canongate

Lord Canongate is a historic title in the Scottish peerage, associated with the Canongate area of Edinburgh. Traditionally, it was held by the Lord of Canongate, a noble responsible for overseeing the district's legal and administrative matters. Over time, the title became a ceremonial honor within the Scottish nobility, with no direct governance role. Today, it often signifies a noble family or individual with historical ties to Edinburgh's Canongate district, serving as a symbol of local heritage rather than political authority.
