SCOTLAND CLANS : BUY A SQUARE FOOT - HAVE SOME FUN WITH YOUR NEW LORD OR LADY TITLE - VISIT THE PRESERVE! VERY COOL!

I found this web site, which is commercial - selling plots of land in Scotland ie "Become a Lord or Lady Now" ! I must say that the preservation of clan history, maps, and so on here is impressive, so OK, a link to them and some hits for them are in order.... HIGHLAND TITLES COM  You can buy a  square foot plot of land in Kilnaish and see your plot of Google Maps... No, they have not solicited me or paid me for an ad.

Excerpt:  Clearly, our small family business is in no position to bestow honours in the way that the reigning Monarch can do, but our “Laird/Lord/Lady of the Glen” titles are far from meaningless. Gifts are highly personal in nature. No one person is in a position to say whether a gift is with or without meaning. To do so would constitute a breathtaking feat of arrogance.

• For some of our customers, our gift is fun. That fun has meaning.
• For others, it’s romantic. That has meaning.
• For many, it’s a way of strengthening their ties with Scotland. That has meaning.
• We can say without any doubt that our Lairds, Lords and Ladies have helped us create a real feeling of community amongst our customers.
• Tens of thousands of our customers have visited their plots and met with our team on the land. They have seen the huge amount of work we have put into creating one of the most popular nature reserves in the country, including an official Guinness World Record for World’s Biggest Bug Hotel!

Highland Titles now manages more than 800 acres in the beautiful highlands of Scotland, and the nature reserve at Duror, near Glencoe, is one of the most popular nature reserves in Scotland.

Some good information and an opportunity to see the tartan.

THREE DNA TESTS LATER HE KNOWS WHY HIS GREAT GRANDFATHER WAS MEAN TO HIS GREAT GRANDMOTHER

Got to talking to a man at a coffee house who brightened when I told him I do genealogy research and family history writing.  He was just waiting to tell someone who would understand.

He took DNA tests from three different companies and learned that genetically as of his great grandmother's line, he is NOT a member of a particular Scottish Clan /Surname but another.

"I always heard that my great grandfather treated her like crap," he said.  "She was young and pretty, maybe 21, and clearly she had an affair. I had to tell my mom."

This is one of the reasons why some people don't want to take a DNA test, do not want to know.

His mother had invested in so many clan logo designed items from coffee mugs to crests on the walls.
