For you who are not familiar with it a little explanation: You can join FoL when purchasing a bottle of Laphroaig Whisky. Instruction on a leaflet in the tube. You can also get invited by other member of FoL.
Laphroaig bought the land from which they take the water for their whisky to keep the water supply safe. Now, they had helluva lot of land with nothing to do with it (except taking water). So, when joining FoL you get one sq. feet area of land from scotland and nice diploma telling you whict plot you are owning and you can see aerial photo of it  Other benefits also. You can read it all on Laphroaig website .
Anyone here already a member?
Not a member, but it sure sounds interesting.

Sounds great, the only problem being that local building regulations will not allow a house to be built on that size parcel of land because the walls would be too close to the boundarys.
So this ends my hopes of living in Scotland :sad:
I've not even seen Laphroaig whisky here, but I'll check.
