At any rate, I read with a bit of sadness about the fake Laird & Lady scams (ie buying a square foot of Scottish estate): my wife bought one for me a few Christmases ago, and while I certainly held no visions of grandeur about my so called "Lairdship" (definitely would NOT make a video about it), it seemed nice that the land was being preserved/conserved in some fashion. But I suppose this is not the case...

It would seem that the Scottish Heritage market is chock-a-bloc with such scams.

The author of the website is Lord Bradford a genuine Earl. If your plot of ground is where I think it is, it is highly unlikely to change from its present condition for at least until the next ice age.

Oh, right. Upon further perusal I discovered a link to the Earl's other site, which I found to give a much more... genuine impression.

Yeah, we probably didn't put a lot of thought into the reality of the whole Kincavel/Ardnamurchan situation; more of a novelty to us, I guess... We're not likely to be able to visit it until the next ice age, anyway. :P Maybe by then we can drive to Scotland?

OH what a nosey bunch ye are!

I know who they are yes, and there is more than one involved, but as far as revealing their identities, do you think that is the correct thing to reveal, look at the type of fakes and scammers they are bringing to people attention?

Some of these people they are dealing with aren't out of kinder garden!

I do understand what you are saying, but I think, nay, I know I would prefer to know who I am dealing with. I left the kinder garden many years ago!

No surprise! Anytime something related to titles or arms etc.. comes up on this forum, someone will want to lift the bonnet and see if the serial numbers match!

Well perhaps they should lift the "Bonnet"

On the ones extracting £29 95 or more, from in the main, "Innocent People" by scamming folks out of money. At least Fake Scots Titles is NOT asking them to dip into their pockets

Lets see £29.95 per Sq ft = £1.2 million per acer approx. The only conservation that is done by them is to their Bank Balance.

Not sure how my post implied a defense of the folks who sell stuff like that, It certainly is not. It was more of a comment about how some folks on this forum tend to react to anything on these subjects.
But I would hope that the folks that buy that into it don't take it seriously! I'm sure some do, but it's probably too late to help them!
As has been observed, most folks take this idea as tongue in cheek, and are pretty unlikely to ever visit their "property", or try to assert their 'privilege' !
People spend more money on dumber stuff than that every day, and I can't see making a big deal out of it, unless one just resents others having a laugh, or making a buck.
