Damn! My dreams of being listed among the landed gentry shattered again. I'll still hang on to that bridge I purchased in Brooklyn.

Hilarious!

Waitaminute, so my 1 sqft castle isn't going to happen?

Blast it all!

Regardless of this, Highland Titles (and many others) will unfortunately continue to dupe people out of money.

Scott , not all is lost .

If your land / Laird purchase ever becomes a reality .... I will gladly donate my line of work " design build services " for the construction of your 1 sq ft castle .... in exchange for a sporran .

So there you go ... win win .

When these first began to appear they were kinda cute. My wife bought me one of these for my birthday one year.

We never thought or expected it to be real. It was a nice and unique birthday gift. Sort of like having a star named after you. Something to hang on the wall.

I did have plans of looking up my 1 square foot during one of my business trips to Scotland. I thought it would be a fun photo putting one of those David Winter Castles on it, and taking a picture from ground level.

But I found out that some French person was living in my castle and threatened to taunt me a second time if I did not go away.

Oh you English "Ka-nig-its" should know the French are likely backing the ploy. It's good that am from Scottish blood and a bit tight with my funds.

My son's castle in Lochaber.

Why don't we buy a fifth of Laphroig and they will give you a square foot out in their back lot and a Google Earth pic to show you where it is. If ever I get to Islay, I'm going to stand on my land, although I will have to curl up my toes to fit into it. The picture should be great. Thanks for the laugh today.
