A reserve price is the minimum price the seller will accept. This price is hidden from bidders. To win, a bidder must have the highest bid and have met or exceeded the reserve price.
In this auction we are offering for sale two plots of adjacent land, both 100 square foot. The land is situated in Lochaber, in the heart of the Highlands of Scotland. You will be sent all legal documents, grid reference, maps and directions as well as the legal documentation required to change the title on your bank accounts, credit cards, drivers license etc
we sell 1, 10, 100 or 1000 square feet. We also sell photographs, country club membership with fishing rights, photo frames, ties, tree dedications as well as the plots of land.
Scots law and traditions state that the style Laird (the Scots equivalent of Lord) may be used by masters of landed estates. Laird can be used by men or women, but the popular equivilent for ladies is the title 'Lady'. Purchase your very own Highland 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, Lord or Lady.
The land you are buying forms a part of "Laird's Wood" - The trees are mainly young oak, beech and silver birch and some naturally regenerating hazel and other young broadleaves. The wood is home to a wide range of Scottish Wildlife from Hedgehogs to Pine Martens, to larger animals such as stags and does. 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.
Scottish land sales require a written contract and our documents have been drawn up by a Scottish Lawyer to ensure they are fully legal. This is a joint pack, and the documents are delivered in a beautiful glossy presentation folder, printed with a photograph of Lochaber, that keeps the documents from being bent or marked. You can see both the front and the back of the folder in the photo below.
These plots of land retail at £199 on our website

Gift Wrapping
We also can gift wrap the deeds with top quality wrapping paper, a Lochaber style tartan ribbon, sealed with a gold Lochaber Highland Estates Seal. When you checkout and pay for your purchase just select the 'insurance' option in the shipping section (£3.99) it is NOT shipping insurance it is actually the gift wrap option!
Changing your ID
We include in the package the Master Title Deed required by institutions worldwide to change your title on your documents. This can be utility bills, credit cards, bank accounts, drivers license, and other ID. You do not HAVE to change your title on your ID, but if you want to then we include that facility. The Master Title Deed is a legal document accepted in most jurisdictions (for example the UK, the USA, Australia and Europe), that asserts your right to be known by your new title. You have this right as a Scottish landowner in Lochaber. The Master Title Deed simple records your right to use your title in a way that government departments, banks and other organisations understand.
WARNING: You may find on eBay other sellers attempting to sell "titles". They simply provide a Master Title Deed to their customers recording a "new" title. However the unsuspecting customers who use this documentation and change their titles are commiting fraud. You MUST have the right to use the title, in order to legally change it on documents. If the bank or government found them using a title they had no right to they would be in trouble. We sell you here not only the right to be a Laird, Lord or Lady, (including the legal deed of sale for the land) but also the Master Title Deed to use this right.

Q. Is this really legal?
A. Yes-this is fully legal. You are truly purchasing a small Scottish estate, being 1 square foot in size. Under United Kingdom law, as the owner of a Scottish estate, you will have the full rights to style yourself as a Laird, Lord or Lady
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. The transfer of the land is done under Scottish contract law.
Q. What can I do with the land?
A. As the new owner, you can come and visit; take a walk in Lairds Wood, take a photograph of your "Estate". In the middle of the wood there is a Lochan that you can sit by and enjoy the views. Bird watching, fungi spotting, country pursuits. What you cannot do is build on the land, because this would spoil the wood for everyone. If you wish to camp please note that is permitted with 100 or 1000 square foot plots.
Q. Can I purchase one for someone else?
A. Absolutely. 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. As is customising the deeds with a special date i.e a birthday or anniversary Just let us know at the time of ordering. We also can gift wrap the deeds with top quality wrapping paper, a Lochaber style tartan ribbon, and sealed with a gold Lochaber Highland Estates Seal. When you pay for the item at checkout just select the 'insurance' with the shipping (£3.99) it is NOT shipping insurance (that is included) it is the gift wrap option ;)
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 land to anyone?
A. Your land can be left to anybody through your will upon your death or even sold to someone else if you wish to sell the land, after all it is yours. If you wish, we can help you when you come to sell it, or you can use your own solicitors, it is up to you.
Q. Can I change my bank account, credit, drivers license?
A. Yes, you have the right to change your title on any documentation or ID. We provide the Master Title Deed for you to do this.
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. You will have no further expense to pay after the initial purchase price
Q. How do you pronounce 'Lochaber'
A. 'loch-ARB-ah'
Q. Why should I buy this land?
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.
