Title: Become a Scottish Lord
Post by: StinkyPete on March 23, 2018, 04:02:34 PM
Here's a unique gift that you can give someone.

Highland Titles will sell you a (very) small plot of land on a Nature Reserve in Scotland, and you get full and legal title to the land.   This is how they make money to fund the conservation work undertaken on the reserve.  As a landholder in Scotland the owner of the land is properly entitled to call themselves "Lord" or "Lady".  There is also a specific tartan that owners of such land are entitled to use, as well a range of unique land owners accessories.

Have browse through this site.....   https://www.highlandtitles.com/ (https://www.highlandtitles.com/)

We have taken up this offer, and own two plots each, one in each of the two Nature Reserves, as has at least one other OzSTOC member that I know of.    It's a bit of fun, particularly if you have a Scottish heritage, with the money going to a genuine conservation effort in Scotland.

Cheers
Lord Peter & Lady Christine.   :grin

Welcome to the fold fellow lord of Glencoe  :thumb

My wife and I have been Lady Shirley and Laird Dale for nearly 10 years now. It is nice to be a landowner in Scotland, plus preserve the land for posterity  :thumbsup

Hail Laird Dale  :hatwave
I actually found out about Highland Titles when you spoke of it as a contestant on a game show, and that prompted me to buy a plot as a gift for Lady Christine in back 2015.  I also bought her one of their beautiful woolen scarves in our tartan, and a plot for myself.
Cheers
Lord Stinky (to my friends)
