You will be sent an official personalised land ownership certificate and a Proof of Title card. You will then be eligible for all sorts of Laird-based perks:

• You and a guest will be entitled to a free tour of Dunans. Visit and locate your plot of land! Bookings must be made in advance
• Your gift will help in the restoration of Dunans Castle and grounds
• Free, lifetime access to Dunans including Dunans Bridge and the tallest tree in the UK!
• Fishing rights to the Alt a Chaol Ghleann river within the grounds
• Use of Dunans' insignia, access to exclusive Laird and Lady stationery and your own Laird or Lady email address
• Access to a Gift Republic-only area of the Dunans Lairds' website where you will find exclusive merchandise and more

A map showing you the location of your plot is enclosed in your gift box.

• Welcome letter

• Life as a Laird or Lady booklet
• Dunans Castle: A History

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.

Can I visit my plot?
Yes. We urge you to visit your land! By registering this gift, you and a guest (adult or child) will be entitled to one complimentary tour of Dunans Castle and its grounds. Details on how to get to Dunans will be sent along with your certificate and Proof of Title card.

There is one scheduled tour per month for Gift Republic’s Lairds and Ladies though tours may be possible at other times. Please contact Dunans to pre-book your tour before visiting to avoid disappointment. Contact details will be sent to you with your certificate and Proof of Title card.

Upon registration you will be provided with the precise co-ordinates of your plot of land. With a tape measure or equivalent, this will then enable you to locate your exact plot within the grounds! Laird plots enjoy a wonderful view of the castle and are just a stone’s throw from the Alt a Chaol Ghleann river.

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.

Please note:
The complimentary Dunans tour is valid for two adults and must be booked in advance. Please note that restoration work may be in progress so there may be times when certain areas are closed. Dunans reserves the right to alter or remove the tour without prior notice for technical, operational or other reasons and the Proof of Title card is neither refundable nor exchangeable. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Dunans reserves the right to refuse entry onto the tour. Gift Republic cannot be held responsible for any planned or unforeseen changes to Dunans.
