Why be Mr or Mrs, when you can be a Laird or Lady?
Scottish land owners are legally entitled to use the title of Laird. This is the widely accepted equivalent of an English Lord or Lady. When registered you will own a token piece of land in Scotland and will be a Laird.
You will then be sent an official personalised land ownership certificate along with a ‘Proof of Title’ card. This card allows you entry into the Lairds Retreat. This is 10 acres of beautiful land in Argyll which is owned by Scottish Angus Survival. It is located by the banks of Loch Riddon which is viewed by many as one of Scotland’s most beautiful lochs. Full details of the retreat are enclosed in the gift box.
A map showing you the location of your plot is enclosed in your gift box.
You receive in a luxury metal gift tin:
- Welcome letter
- An explanation of the gift
- A booklet about the Laird’s Retreat
- Information on the history of Glencairn
- A map of Glencairn
- Presentation certificate
After registration you will receive:
- Land ownership certificate
- Proof of title card
FAQs:
Once registered, do I have to use the title?
No, you can still carry on using your original title. You will just legally be entitled to use the title Laird at any time you wish.
Can I call myself a Lord?
No, you can not call yourself a Lord as it is very difficult to purchase a British aristocratic title. You can call yourself a Laird though.
Will I genuinely own the land?
Yes, once registered the land is legally yours. In order to preserve the natural state of the land there are no signs directing you to the plot neither are there any facilities on site. We suggest that you visit the Lairds Retreat rather that your plot.
Can my land and title be inherited?
Yes, as long as Scottish Highland Titles are informed of the changes then your title and land can be passed on.
