| 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. You will be sent all legal documents, grid reference, maps and directions.
If you wish to purchase a larger estate, we also sell 10, 100 or 1000 square foot plots and half acre sites but this auction is for one square foot. See our eBay shop for bigger plots, or for country club membership that also includes salmon and trout fishing rights. Click here http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Lochaber-Highland-Estates
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.
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.
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 estate and that you are popping up at the weekend to visit!? Jaws will drop.
This land is right at the heart of Lochaber (in the Scottish Highlands), the very area Bonnie Prince Charlie traversed, and the home of Loch Ness and Ben Nevis.
Scottish land sales require a written contract and the land to be located using OS references. Our documents have been drawn up by a Scottish Lawyer to ensure they are fully legal, and the references are included. 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. |
With Lochaber Highland Estates you will be given the exact OS reference of your unique square foot. You will be able to EXACTLY locate your plot.

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 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 on Loch Linnie (but for salmon and trout fishing rights on the river as well you need to join the country club), do some boating or swimming on the water and picnic in the trees. Bird watching, fungi spotting, country pursuits. If you purchase one of our larger plots you can also camp on your land. You are free to hike over the entire 5,000 acre estate.
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. 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, 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!
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.
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. 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.
