Most likely an easy way for a land owner to make a small fortune from an otherwise useless piece of derelict land. Not sure the title would hold much clout when push came to shove.
On the note of titles...
My wife's cousin decided to dig into the black art of genealogy and claimed he was from aristocracy and his great great grandfather was a laird, so he bestowed the said title upon himself. He told the family with great glee the story of when his wife 'Lady XYZ' was stopped by the police and asked to produce her driving license and on the said license was Lady XYZ... Sad world
Wonder what's on Laird Jim's license?
