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 but this auction is for one square foot. See our eBay shop for bigger plots, or for sales that also including 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. Laird can be used by men or women, but the popular equivilent for ladies is the title 'Lady'. 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 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. Some areas of Sitka Spruce were planted in 1992 and these small plantations are maturing. 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.
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, Ben Nevis, and other Scottish landmarks.
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, 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. |

BEWARE - we have become aware of a seller on eBay attempting to sell Lord and Lady titles. This is ILLEGAL under
| The Honours (Prevention of Abuses) Act 1925 |
All this seller is doing, as you can see from his listings, is printing you a certificate to say you are a Lord. If you want to go down this meaningless and novelty route save yourself the money and print your own piece of paper. The only way to gain a title legitimately and have something for your money is to purchase a Scottish estate, with which we will send you all legal documentation and advise you on any questions you have.
At the very least if you are considering the other seller, e-mail him and ask on what authority he is able to "issue" "titles"

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 in Loch Linnie opposite the wood, and picnic in the trees. 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. 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.
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. You will have no further expense to pay after the initial purchase price.
Q. How do you pronounce 'Lochaber'
A. 'loch-ARB-ah'
