How to Buy a Traditional Scottish Title
Be a Lord, Laird or Lady in Scotland - The easy way...
Buying a traditional 'Lord' title for most people is typically a long and near-impossible process. If you’re not born into royalty, it’s unlikely that you’ll ever get the chance to truly experience what it feels like to have an official royal title, unless you’re willing to wait literally years and pay huge sums of money for the privilege.
Luckily here at The Scottish Gift, we offer our community the opportunity to style themselves as Lairds, Lords, and Ladies of the Glen by simply purchasing a souvenir plot of Scottish land.
Whilst you don’t actually buy a title of Scottish nobility, our Lairds, Lords, and Ladies can enjoy some of the perks that a title bestows, without forking out for a barony title.
Our Guide to buying Lord and Lady Titles
We have put together a handy guide explaining how Scottish nobility titles are gained, what you can expect to pay for a title of Scottish nobility, and what buying a Highland Title actually entails.
How do you get the title Lord or Lady?
A title of Scottish nobility can be gained in 3 ways:
-
Buying a barony title. These titles are centuries old and were once attached to a specific area of land. In 2004, these titles became detached from the land and changed from territorial dignities to personal dignities. They can cost tens of thousands of pounds.
-
Marrying a person with the current 'Lord' or 'Lady' title.
-
Receiving an appointment to the House of Lords (which can only be achieved through nomination by the Prime Minister and then confirmation from the King Charles III).
Not exactly a simple, cheap or easy process!
There are many ways to enjoy the Lairds, Lords and Ladies lifestyle.
We encourage The Scottish Gift and Highland Titles community to make the most of their new titles and have some fun with it.
We love hearing stories about flight upgrades and preferential treatment that comes about as a result of the titles.
In joining the unique Scottish Highland Title community, you will receive updates on the land and conservation efforts that your support makes possible.
We also sponsor Gatherings around the world where many of our overseas Lairds, Lords and Ladies come to celebrate their heritage. Highland Titles even hold an own Gathering once a year in Glencoe where Ladies, Lords and Lairds from across the globe get together for three days to learn more about the nature reserves and even have the chance to visit their own plots!
Members of the community also have the traditional landowner responsibilities to participate in land management votes and share thoughts and opinions on what should be done in the everlasting effort to restore and nurture the land.
The unique Scottish Estate Manager App for iOS and Android was also created for all Lairds, Lords and Ladies to discover and locate their plots from anywhere in the world. The guest version is totally free and connects you even more to the nature reserves and your little piece of Scotland, even if you can’t be here to see it first-hand.
Your Ability To Change Your Name
Once you have received your gift pack, many customers immediately want to show off their new "title" by changing their name.
Some of our customers make this official and ask their bank to add their new title to their bank account and credit cards.
We offer the "Master Title Deed" for precisely this reason - you can order it separately in our shop.
A Deed Poll is a legal document that provides evidence of your desire to change your name.
We do not currently know of any jurisdiction where Deed Polls are not recognized but encourage you to do your research in your country of residence.
Please note that government documents which do not display any title, such as passports, cannot be changed, but subject to good faith, people can style themselves however they please.
Your Right To Use The Official Tartan & Buckler
Another benefit to becoming a Laird, Lord or Lady of the Glen is that you will then be able to proudly display and wear the official Highland Titles Buckler & Tartan.
The Tartan has been specially designed for the Highland Titles community and has been registered with the official Scottish Register of Tartans exclusively for the Highland Titles’ Lairds, Lords and Ladies.
The Highland Titles Buckler is styled like your very own coat of arms, or crest, to represent all our Ladies, Lairds and Lords. It has been registered as trademark, but is not, in fact, an official Scottish Coat of Arms.
It does, though, incorporate symbols of Highland Titles involvement in preservation and conservation of Scottish land, which we feel the community will feel proud to represent. The shield bears a silhouette of a full grown oak tree along with the buckle design.
You Special VIP Treatment
The local people and businesses of Glencoe have helped create a special VIP Card, which can be used for a variety of discounts when you visit the area.
Discounts are dependent on how large your plot is and when it was purchased, but range from free drinks with a meal, exciting outdoor activities to a years membership at the local golf club!
The VIP Treatment also includes the chance to participate in our annual New Years Honours List, in which you have the ability to nominate someone special to you, or your community, to be considered for the honour of being included on the annual list.
All those “honoured” will be given a plot and will be welcomed into our global community!
Your Unique Laird, Lord and Lady Style
No Lairdship is truly complete without the accessories!
Whether it be a personalised gift for that special Lady, Lord, Laird in your life or a lovely set of crest cufflinks or official Tartan scarf to make you feel like a debonair Lord or elegant Lady, there's definitely something to suit every taste.
By buying a plot and becoming a part of the community, it means you’re also on the inside track when new accessories are added, and may even have a chance to participate in trying new products before they're released.
