Lord of the Manor

The Father’s Day gift I sent to my dad was a gift of having the title of Lord in Scotland. Our family history goes back to an actual Lord of a community in Scotland, so this was a perfect gift to send to him.

This gift came from a company called Established Titles, which provides one square foot of space for each person who wants the title, and in addition, they will plant one to two trees on your spot.

Their website says:

“Our Title Packs are based on a historic Scottish land ownership custom, where landowners have been long referred to as “Lairds,” the Scottish term for “Lord”, with the female equivalent being “Lady”.

One square foot of dedicated land on a private estate in Ardallie, Aberdeenshire, Scotland and a printable certificate with a crest,…
simultaneously preserving and protecting woodland in Scotland.

Established Titles is committed to the preservation and protection of woodland areas in Scotland. As part of our concerted efforts, Established Titles has pledged to keep the entire woodland free from any other uses except for the peaceful enjoyment of the land, thereby protecting the biodiversity of the flora and fauna of the area. We have further pledged to protect the land from being disturbed by construction, sporting, driving or other similar activities. Established Titles donates to One Tree Planted and Trees for the future to help with our tree planting efforts.”
