The lordship became dormant on the death of the fourth Lord in 1724, but was still being claimed as late as 1839.

Tailzie
In Scots law, tailzie (/ˈteɪli/) is a feudal concept of the inheritance of immovable property according to an arbitrary course that has been laid out, such as in a document known as a "deed of tailzie". It was codified by the Entail Act 1685.

Tailzie is similar to the common law concept of fee tail, as the "heir in tailzie" is entailed to the property. An "heir in tailzie" could not sell the property so inherited, except to the feu superior (that is, to the holder of the dominum directum of the feu).

Other spellings of the word are tailie, taillie, tailze, tailyie, tailye, taylzie, teally, teilzie, telyie, teylyie tyle, talyee. It is derived from the Old French tailler 'to cut' and taille 'cutting'. The 'z' was, until the simplification of printing to 26 characters, a yogh (tailȝie) and so is not sounded.
