Thanks to a quirk that is unique to Scotland, the lucky couple can become the Lord and Lady of Glencoe.
Of course, this wonderful ‘his and hers’ gift comes with a luxury gift pack which has earned an average rating of 4.8 out of 5 on Trustpilot with well over 8000 independent reviews.
Our gift is a far cry from the usual photo frame and cheese board. Selling ‘souvenir’ plots of land is a quirk unique to Scotland, and the ownership rights obtained by the lucky couple is a valid form of ownership which can be passed on to any future generations. It’s genuinely interesting and receives a lot of publicity, all over the world!
The Scottish Highlands is widely recognised as one of the most romantic locations in the world. Lots of celebrities have chosen a Scottish castle as the venue for their wedding. Another great feature of our gift is that it is everlasting – the land will still be there thousands of years from now! The everlasting symbolism of land makes it perfect for a wedding or anniversary gift.
Highland Titles has been trading for 14 years. In that time, we have sold hundreds of thousands of souvenir plots of land, which spreads the ownership of the land across hundreds of thousands of people. This makes it impossible for the land to be used for commercial development in the future. We use the profits to manage the land as a nature reserve. Amongst other things, we have planted thousands of trees, created a lochan, built a Hedgehog Hospital and ‘Forever Home’ for injured and disabled hedgehogs, installed access tracks, bee hives, habitat boxes and more.
What started as an inaccessible commercial forestry plantation is now a thriving nature reserve and official 4* tourist attraction, with thousands of people visiting from all over the world every year! Most people come from overseas and take advantage of our wonderful guided tour. Some even attend our annual Highland Gathering, which is a fun and educational 3 day event attended by around 100 likeminded Lords and Ladies.
Our luxury gift pack comes with personalised, parchment certificates and welcome letters, and these are just the start of their land ownership experience. Our customers receive personalised, regular updates on our progress at the nature reserve and we also have a range of accessories to complement the gift. You can view these accessories during the checkout process.
All couples plots below include:
Plus, the right to visit your plot anytime and transfer to future generations.
Highland Titles Nature Reserve is located just south of Duror, Appin; less than 10 miles from historic Glencoe and some of the most breathtaking scenery in the world. Our reserve is called Glencoe Wood due to its close proximity. The titles Laird of Glencoe, Lord of Glencoe, and Lady of Glencoe have all been trademarked by Highland Titles and you are free to style yourself accordingly once you purchase a souvenir plot.
Our customers obtain a “personal right” to their land. This is essentially a contract where we pass our rights to the land over to you. So you can visit your plot, call it your own and essentially do what you please with the land within the normal confines of law (we do also retain rights to prevent the land being used for hunting and shooting).
Further you can sell or pass on the contract as you can with any property. So the gift can be passed down the generations, not just once but forever.
Please note however that the Land Registration etc. (Scotland) Act 2012 does not allow souvenir plots of land to be officially registered so technically Highland Titles Limited has to remain as the registered owner of the land on your behalf. Highland Titles will also manage (at no cost to you) the land as a nature reserve on an ongoing basis.
This, combined with the fact that Highland Titles Ltd is owned by The Highland Titles Charitable Trust for Scotland (a charity registered in Guernsey, number CH444), ensures that the land can only ever be used for the purposes of conservation.
Thanks to the support of all those who have joined us as Lairds, Lords and Ladies over the years, we now have two nature reserves. Our first reserve, “The Highland Titles Nature Reserve”, near Duror and 10 miles from Glencoe, was created from the land we bought in 2007 and is now an established 4-star tourist attraction with thousands of visitors each year.
The second location is Mountain View Nature Reserve, roughly 10 miles West of Invergarry, which we bought in 2014. If the success of Highland Titles continues through the support of customers such as yourself, our goal will be to continue to purchase more land and create more reserves.
As The Highland Titles Nature Reserve is best set-up to welcome visitors, we want to ensure that all customers receive a plot here and have the right to style themselves as a Lord or Lady of Glencoe. We only sell 1 sqft plots from the original reserve, as we have a visitor centre and run our Meet and Greet tours from here and want to be able to provide everyone the chance to see and visit their land.
As such, if you buy a 1sqft plot, it will be in the Highland Titles Nature Reserve and you be able to style yourself as a Lord or Lady of Glencoe.
If you buy a larger plot, ie: the 10 sqft, 100 sqft and 1000 sqft plot, it will be located at Mountain View and, to celebrate that, you’ll be able to style yourself as a Lord or Lady of Lochaber. However, you will also get a free 1sqft plot at the Highland Titles Nature Reserve. This means you can also style yourself as a Lord or Lady of Glencoe as well! Of course it also means you can fully enjoy the guided tours and other facilities on offer the original reserve too.
Please note that the details and location of both plots – Glencoe and Lochaber – will be contained within one certificate.
“Well Worth the Money !”
The experience with Highland Titles was above and beyond my expectations. The two titles I purchased for X-mas gifts were so well received, and they were very impressed. The recipients are already trying to figure out how to build on their 3×3 foot piece of land if they ever get to the Highlands of Scotland.
