Click here to see what others thought of this wonderful package. We are offering for sale one square foot (12 inches by 12 inches) of an area of land situated in Lochaber, in the heart of the Highlands of Scotland. Scots law and traditions state that the style Laird (the Scots equivalent of Lord) may be used by masters of landed estates. Purchase your very own Highland sporting estate (albeit a small one - but you don’t need to tell your friends the exact size!) and you too will have the legal right to call yourself a Laird or Lady. As an added bragging point your plot of land contains full non-exclusive fishing rights - including the express rights to fish for Salmon - over a mile of the River Spean! Can you imagine your friends' faces when you tell them that they must now call you Laird 'Whatever' of Lochaber because you have purchased a Scottish Sporting Estate and that you are popping up at the weekend to do a spot of fishing on your own stretch of the river!? Jaws will drop. The land you are buying is currently owned by a charitable trust and forms a part of "Laird's Wood" - once a tract of ancient Caladonian Forest, cut down in the middle ages, and replanted 12 years ago with native broadleaves, such as Oak, Aspen, Rowan and Birch. The wood is now fenced against livestock and a home to a wide range of Scottish Wildlife from Hedgehogs to Pine Martens. Because the land is being sold in small parcels, it can never be built on or developed, so in addition to obtaining a Laird or Lady title, you will be helping to preserve the land in its natural state for future generations. You may find other people on eBay offering land for sale but do they include rights over nearly a mile of Salmon Fishing? Similarly, other adverts are for land that is not even part of mainland Scotland, merely sand dunes on outlying islands. This is a once in a life time purchase and it's worth a little thought to buy the right piece of land. This land is right at the heart of Lochaber (in the Scottish Highlands) and on the Road to the Isles, the very area Bonnie Prince Charlie traversed, and the home of Loch Ness and Ben Nevis. Scottish land sales require a written contract and our documents have been drawn up by a Scottish Lawyer to ensure they are fully legal. The documents are delivered in a beautiful glossy presentation folder.

Frequently Asked Questions To set your mind at ease about any queries you may have, read our FAQ below or e-mail me for a direct response. Q. Is this really legal? A. Yes-this is fully legal. You are truly purchasing a small Scottish sporting estate, being one square foot of land in Lochaber Q. Do I need to register my land? A. No. In fact The Land Registration (Scotland) Act 1979 Section 4 (1)(b)prohibits you from registering your land - just because this would tie up the Registrar with so many small plots. Unlike in England, and some other countries, you do not need to register your purchase in order to be the owner of the land. Q. So I can honestly call myself a Laird? A. Under United Kingdom law, as the owner of a Scottish estate, you will have the full rights to style yourself as a Laird (or Lady) Q. What can I do with the land? A. As the new owner, you can come and visit; take a walk in the "Laird's Wood", take a photograph of your "Estate". Try a little fishing, and picnic on the river bank. Bird watching, fungi spotting, country pursuits. What you cannot do is build on the land, because this would spoil the wood for everyone. Q. Can I purchase one for someone else? A. Absolutely. This is a great unique gift. Just let us know what name to put on the certificate when ordering. If you would like a message enclosed to the new Laird/Lady, and the pack shipped directly to them, this is all part of the service. Just let us know at the time of ordering. Q. Can I use my title for anything and in any situation? A. You may use your title at any time except for any illegal purpose - such as to commit fraud, or obtain money by deception. Q. Can I leave this title to anyone? A. Your land can be left to anybody through your will upon your death Q. Can I change my bank account, passport, drivers license? A. Many people successfully change their names on their legal documentation. But we can't make promises on behalf of these agencies. Why not contact your bank, the passport office or other agencies in advance if this is a vital requirement for you. Q. Is there anything else to pay? A. No. There are no land taxes in Scotland and absolutely no other costs associated with buying or owning this land Q. Why should I buy this title? A. The list is endless. People with a title are seen as wealthier, more attractive and much more successful than a plain Mr, Miss or Mrs. This will boost your self-esteem and increase your confidence. This is more impressive than a gold card, and easier to obtain then waiting for Her Majesty to bestow a title upon you! Bank managers, restaurant and airline check in staff will not be able to help you enough. You could even receive free upgrades.
