Fake Scots Titles

[vmac3205]

What about the Masonic Royal Order of Scotland? Captmac and I are not Masons, but we know folks who belong to the Royal Order of Scotland and actually sign their checks "Lord" or "Lady." and claim that when they go to Scotland, they get the honor of being referred to as such.
I have been curious if this is correct, and would welcome edification on it.

Thank you

That is most certainly not correct for the ROS. That isn't even the correct title for a member, and a gentleman's membership really has no relation to what his wife is called.

The ROS is an appendant body of Freemasonry, whose members already obtained the highest rank in the craft: Master Mason.
