Fancy becoming a Laird or a Lord with your own piece of real estate in Scotland

[la gran siete]

Yup and you'll be doing a good service in helping to preserve the forests and wildlife from predatory developers in the process.Just think of it 1 sq foot of prime land that cannot be used for anything else for 30 quid plus you get to change your bank accounts ,credit cards , driving licence etc .You'll have new respect shown to you, doors opened and preferential treatment at restaurants.Now lets see i could be Laird McSiete ,the only gardening laird in the south of EnglandNot sure about a kilt though

I've been a Lady of Loch Borralan for 8 years.

It totally changed my life!

...not really

From the website....

'A map of Glencoe Wood & directions. Instructions on how to visit & find your personal plot.'

At a square foot in the middle of a wood, trying to find your own bit could be a bit tricky.

 

[Jenn]

With my certificate I got precise GPS coordinates so it would be possible to get there.

 

[Lee]

Can it be that accurate to take you to the square foot?

I own a couple of acres of the moon. My great-grandchildren could be millionaires...

yeah i think they can , I've got a sad mate who's into geo caching (think that's what they call it )

 

[Jenn]

I'm no expert at this but from what I understand the coordinates are to within a few inches.

Maybe someone can confirm, longitude being -4.948057 for example.

I'm currently selling plots on Mars. Could I put you down for a couple of them too

Not sure about a kilt though

I agree.
An English accent from a kilt-wearer isn't pleasant to hear.
Strangely common up here though.
If I'm at a function, I often joke that the kilt wearers will be English.

You think way too small - I'm selling Jupter *and* Saturn - £ £ £

No joke, I think I might have received an acre on Mars or Venus too. They were popular gifts around the turn of the century - my wife and I both have some, and my kids have been "given" stars too. Nice earners for whoever came up with the idea.

Hey, you must be a con-man - Jupiter and Saturn are gaseous so buying land there would be pointless!

my wife just had a good idea.She suggested i by a sq ft for my sister because it would be well appreciated."Lady Giles of Croydon", hmm yes has a certain ring about it

 

[FZR400RRSP]

Lady Giles

I thought that was rhyming slang for hemorrhoids.

 

[imightbewrong]

A quick google lead me to GPS manufacturer Garmin who claims theirs are accurate to 15m - which suggests the answer is no.

Well, she does sound like a pain in the arse.... The continuing stories of how much of a snob she is compared to LGS are, at least...

Old Kilt joke.
woman to Scotsman wearing Kilt.

"Is anything worn under the Kilt?"

"No dear, it's all in working order!"

Could be alright then

A quick google lead me to GPS manufacturer Garmin who claims theirs are accurate to 15m - which suggests the answer is no.

Oh, maybe not.


I'd hate to buy a foot and then be done for cutting wrong bit

Well it's a bit of silliness really isnt it? Did you bother changing your name by deedpoll?

It might tickle my Mrs, but then she's already a doctor, which is good on papers...

New ones, not yet launched, are to be accurate to within 3 feet:

No! I'm not even British

 

[riprse]

My daughters did that for there dad a few years back. It entitles myself & daughters to use the title lady as well. My youngest daughter likes to use the title on her bank cards & store cards. I never used it but it amuses her.

Well if they are a member of the Scottish aristocracy more than likely they will speak with a clipped "English" accent or maybe they are just plain old Anglo Scots like Rod Stewart.Then there is Gordon Ramsey who must have taken elocution lessons for some daft reason
