You Can Become A ‘Lord’/’Lady’ Via Scotland’s Oddest Rule

Highland Titles Nature Reserve sprung forward with this concept when they sought to renew their wildlife by planting trees where the soil had previously been worn by generations of farming. The owner, Dr. Peter Bevis, began selling plots of his estate over a decade ago to raise funds for the planting. Purchase a plot, no matter what the size, and you’ll receive an official certificate with your new name, Lord or Lady of (insert coolest sounding location on Bevis’ estate.)

Lord Butt-Head is already taken.

 To this day, plots of land are typically available on Scottish estates that have belonged to families for centuries. Another is this website, offering one square foot starting at fifty dollars. Often referred to as a “souvenir plot,” you’re also mailed a certificate proving ownership of your property. It may only work as far as getting your friends to call you by your newly given name, that is, if they can take this matter seriously in the first place, “Lord Kyle of Hot Topic.” You may boast about your superiority or at least the delusion of it, but sadly buying a piece of land will not give you legal rights, (sorry but it takes knowing a guy to become royalty.) But not to fear, there are a couple perks to your decision. In some cases, you may vote on laws governing the land your plot is registered on. You’re also allowed to visit your patch of earth and go as far as camp on it if it’s large enough, enjoying the high life as the imaginary Lord you now are. Basking over your land with no running water, getting gnawed at by mosquitoes, and trapped in a thin layer of plastic to protect you from the possible onslaught of a bear attack.
