Fake Scots Titles

[Sketraw]

I have a queston on this. The titles are for fun. I got one for my wife as a gift last year. She takes it no more seriously than owning property on the moon or having a star named after her. They're done for fun.

Now on the part that the funds go toward conservation, for replanting trees or for supporting historic site. Are they claiming all these are just scams as well?

Yes Jim, sse the terms and conditions for one of the scammers Dunan Castle -

4. The title “Laird of Dunans Castle” or “Lady of Dunans Castle” shall be granted under the laws of Scotland, (they are not in a position to grant any form of titles) and shall only pertain to the individual(s) whose name(s) is(are) entered on a valid deed of entitlement.

5. As the title ‘Laird’ or the associated ‘Lady’ (in this context ‘Lady’ is specifically relating only to the ownership of land, (they dont own the Land) not anything else, nor any other type of title) only accrues to a person who owns land in Scotland, your title will relate specifically to one square foot of land set in the grounds of Dunans Castle, which you will ‘own’ on an informal basis, (thers the crunch) and will be referred to specifically in your Deed of Entitlement. This land will be identified by an ID number at Dunans on a plan derived from the deeds of Dunans. You will receive a plan of the site with the approximate position of ‘your’ piece of land marked, this will be for illustrative purposes only. The exact position of your square foot of land will be derived from the ID number and relative to two permanent markers set out on site by Charles Dixon-Spain, Laird of Dunans Castle.

8. Trees planted in honour of Lairds and Ladies, will not necessarily be planted upon the one square foot of land owned by that Laird or Lady. (again the so called Laird or Lady does not own the Land) The actual siting of the tree will depend upon the topographical, environmental and ecological considerations which pertain onsite. The planting of trees will take place only at the correct time of year and notification of planting will be sent to the laird or lady in question. ScottishLaird.com undertakes to identify each tree individually.

9. The Sponsorship of trees, whether native or exotic, does not imply ownership of those trees nor the ground they stand upon. Nor do any rights over those trees accrue to the sponsor, other than the right to be identified as sponsor of those trees or tree.

Again its not a bit of FUN its a Scam!! Dont forget they, that is Charles Dixon-Spain, Duncan Castle own the land and all folks are doing is rebuilding a burnt out castle for him to later re-sell if he desires. It has nothing to do with conservation but profit People would be better sending money to the National Trust for Scotland, then it may do some good for Scotlands Heritage.
