It's Official!
 

I am now, thanks to an anniversary present from SWMBO, officially a Laird and my estate is part of Glencoe Wood in the Highlands.

The certificate is attached. +++

How cool is that? :love:

Very cool, as is my Square Foot of Islay that has been mine for some 20 years.
I called in and collected my annual "Ground Rent" a few days after the meet in June. :D

Of course my bottle is now empty, but I did get a new certificate (attached) and to relax in the "Friends Lounge" also pictured:

I zoomed right in on your Gaff but couldn't see you, must have been out tending to the neighbours estate.

Great present BTW you must be pleased. +++

Just realised that we drove by it (briskly :rolleyes: ) during the June meet on the way to Oban. :D

love it+++

I'm just shocked that you weren't already one!! :p

All hail his Lairdiness :D

How many men at arms do you have to train and keep at readiness?

I'm also a Lord, awesome the way people treat you, clearly wrong as I'm as human and normal as the next person, but the sucking up people will do just because my post comes through as Lord Hefner, and bank cards, Driving license, car Insurance and all the other crap, but it is rather nice to being of an upper class system. Whether it's due to simply purchasing land and doing various bits of paperwork... the fact is the process is the process and I think more should do it. I've been a Lord for over two years now, and enjoying every minute. :D

How does a Laird differ to a Lord, am I assuming that this is some sort of Scottish version of the same thing, or does the hierarchy of it place you either above or below myself on the grand old scheme of things? :Confused:
