The very title, and of course the Wikidata entry that comes from that, is highly suspect. Stevenson's and Macleod's 2012 Dictionary of Scots Words and Phrases in Current Use says, in the entry for "laird" that
> It is not used in titles for the nobility, and no-one would talk about the Laird's prayer.
Just to add to the mix: Michael Montgomery's "The rediscovery of the Ulster Scots language" in Englishes Around the World: General studies, British Isles, North America (1997, edited by Edgar Werner Schneider) gives the Ulster Scots "Lord's Prayer" from a promotional leaflet in 1994 as:
Our Father at bes aboon,
Yer name be tovit, Yer kangrick cum,
Yer gate be tae be on the yird abooon forbye.
Gie us ilk day wor day's breid;
Forgie us the wrangs we hae wrocht
Bein as we forgies themums at wrangs worsels;
Dinnae airt us intil temptin, but save us fae aa ills.
For yours bes the kangrick, the pouer an the glorie,
For aye an iver. Sae mote hit be.
