ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Laird

Okay kiddo, imagine you have a special friend who always takes care of you and makes sure you are safe. That friend is called a "laird".

Now let's say you live in a big castle with lots of rooms and gardens. Your laird is the person who takes care of that castle and makes sure everything runs smoothly. They make sure the people who work there are happy and they keep everything tidy and pretty.

The laird also helps to protect the castle by watching out for enemies and making sure the gates are closed at night. They work with other important people like knights and lords to make big decisions about the castle and the people who live there.

Basically, a laird is a very important person in charge of taking care of a big castle and making sure everyone is happy and safe.
