I was doing some research on Arisaig in Lochaber because of its ties to the 1st Independent Czechoslovak Brigade that was made up of about 300 heroes who volunteered to be a part of Churchill's SOE (Special Operations Executive).

The town of Arisaig has been trying to organize donations for a memorial to those little-known Czech patriots and heroes of this fighting unit, of which 90% died in their fight against Nazi aggression during WWII.

As I was trying to get more information on on Arisaig, I somehow stumbled on information about (apparently) fake nobility titles being sold to people by selling them worthless plots of land in Lochaber. Well, somewhere in my stumbling, I came across the "Order of the Black Ermine" -- which I duly searched in Google, but came up with a virtual goose egg. Any search for this "order" comes up with bizarre webpages and information of dubious quality and reputation.

I figured that I would pose the question here as I know we have many amateur and professional historians who could shed a bit more light on my query.

Gentlemen?
