My Title

There is a little known Law in Scotland that says a person has the legitimate right to assume the title of Laird, Lord or Lady when they own a piece of Scottish Land, but it is impossible to 'buy a title'.  There are websites that claim to sell Royal titles and titles of nobility but these sites are fakes.Owners of Scottish land have the legitimate right to assume the title of Laird, Lord or Lady in place of the title of Mr, Mrs or Miss that they already use.
     I came across the website www.highlandtitles.com and thought, great, about time I was recognised as a lady, especially in this Aussie land full of yobs and boguns, so I set too and looked it all up and basically find that all is above board, by purchasing my little plot of land, I opted for the smallest piece and made my date of the bestowing of my title, the same day as my 70th birthday.  Now it appears that I cannot sell this little piece of land but I can leave it in my Will to those that will inherit from me!!!   It is one square foot of land at Glencoe Wood, Keil Hill. Highland. Scotland and is actually more about preserving land for nature than providing Titles for snobs.  Still I may buy a plot or two for some of my snobbish relatives for birthday presents!!! No they aren't really snobbish but some would be just slightly chuffed at the idea.  A really nice idea of conserving a piece of land and restoring it to it's original condition.
