Re: laphroaig land lease pictures, please
I got my lease certificate in the mail several weeks ago. Entitles me to a dram a year for letting Laphroaig use my property! 
There was a clause in the lease stating that I could not add land by aquiring more bottles of the great nectar.

Does it prevent you from pooling your lease? Might get enough to have a "timeshare" plot... Lets see 365 plots... That'd be about 19ft x 19ft... And everyone can enjoy it for a day a year...

I'm waiting for the pics! I believe that your plot is right next to mine, and I love to see the view!

Here's your plot.

Yep. That's mine, alright. Right under that barrel. 
I just downloaded and printed my lease, and it says that I may not "cut peat, farm sheep or extract minerals from the plot". And that's just exactly what I had wanted to do: move to Scotland, dig a peat pit, fill it with miniature sheep and sink an oil well.
Oh, well, I guess I still have to go to work tomorrow.

I think I see my 12" plot over there on the left side a bit...

Very nice photo of the land. I love the Laphroig also.
I have my cCertificate for ONE SQUARE FOOT of Islay also. Being a Risk Manager in an Insurance Agency I asked our Customer Service Rep to make sure I had Liability coverage on the "Land in Scotland" and sent her the Certificate She didn't know what to do with it. I guess I have an uncovered Liability Exposure over there...

Does that mean that the owner of the barrel is using YOUR air rights? That has to be worth at least a second dram a year.
